Is there a minimum internship wage in Singapore?
Am starting an internship at a cleaning contracting company, and the boss offered me $3/hr. I asked if he thought that was a bit low. He said I should be lucky that I'm even being paid. Aren't there regulations that state interns should be paid a minimum amount? Like the progressive wage model?
