Wages for Car Park Enforcement Officers

Mr Zainal Sapari asked the Minister for National Development (a) what is the number of car park enforcement officers engaged by the Ministry in their existing and upcoming contracts; (b) what is the average basic and gross salary of these car park enforcement officers; and (c) whether the Ministry is willing to consider engaging service providers that adopt a progressive wage model for car park enforcement officers with a salary structure that commensurates with their skills, productivity and career.

Mr Khaw Boon Wan: There are a total of about 910 car park enforcement officers employed by HDB and URA's service providers.

Based on information given by the service providers, the average basic monthly salary of car park enforcement officers ranges from $710 to $770. The average gross monthly salary ranges from $1,300 to $1,800. The salary is pegged to work experience, qualification and work performance.

HDB and URA are prepared to favourably consider service providers that adopt a progressive wage model for car park enforcement officers.
