PWM vs MW

Question 1

Speed of rollout

Answer 1

PWM: There is a protracted/slow roll-out of the PWM.

(Determining a single minimum wage level should be more straightforward than constructing multiple wage ladders for each sector.)

Question 2

Cost

Answer 2

PWM: more costly
MW: Administratively less costly

Question 3

Sectors

Answer 3

PWM: currently only implemented in 3 sectors, cleaning, security and landscaping.
MW: Require all businesses to pay their workers above the stated level, whether they can afford it or not.
