The Progressive Wage Model (PWM) applies to all Singapore citizens and permanent residents covered by Sectoral PWs or Occupational PWs who are employed on a contract of service. This includes persons with disabilities.

- The job description of the employee
- How the job scope has been customised or reduced compared to a regular employee
- Employment support put in place to help the employee maximise productivity, if any
