Most of the listings are between $12 to $16, and according to TODAYonline, Parkway Shenton can pay up to $32 an hour—but that depends a lot on the day and shift, and it’s unknown if that rate is for their full-timers.

Reader Bao: But I heard can earn $48 an hour! Huat ah!!
Wells.
Temperature Screening Job Rates of Up to $48 Per Hour Fake
Given the risk, I won’t be surprised if a firm decided to pay $48 an hour, but it turns out to be fake.
A WhatsApp message has been promising a rate of $33 and $48—according to Raffles Medical Group that deploys temporary healthcare assistants at Changi Airport, that’s doctored and inaccurate.
So if you’re looking to earn some quick buck honestly, go forth and apply for these jobs—remember, the minimum you should be getting is $12, and if you get $16, it’d be pretty goody. Anything above $32 might be fake so don’t be scammed.
If you’re looking to earn some quick buck dishonestly, go buy some masks cheaply and—oh, wait. Cannot liao.
