SINGAPORE - Employers in the aviation sector will get six more months of wage support for their workers to help them tide over the continuing Covid-19 pandemic. The Aviation Workforce Retention Grant amounts to about $130 million and is expected to benefit more than 100 companies, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said on Monday (Sept 27). Eligible aviation companies will receive 30 per cent support for the first $4,600 of gross monthly wages paid to each Singaporean or permanent resident employee from October to December this year. From January to March next year, they will receive 10 per cent support of the same amount. CAAS said that as at September 2021, total passenger traffic at Changi Airport is 3.6 per cent of pre-Covid-19 levels. Consequently, aviation companies have reduced manpower in response to decreased air travel. "After 20 months, the aviation sector remains among the hardest-hit of all economic sectors," said CAAS. The grant was introduced in this year's Budget as part of the OneAviation Support Package for the aviation sector and to "safeguard Singapore's position as an aviation hub". Apart from wage support, aviation companies will also continue to...

How to negotiate a fair salary package

elean
3 minutes

SINGAPORE - A Workforce Singapore career coach says: Research industry salary trends as the first step. Consult career coaches, industry veterans or even friends who have been working in the sector to find out how much people are being paid for the role you are chasing. Then prepare for the negotiation. Know why you deserve the pay you are asking for by highlighting the value you can bring to the table. This includes your track record, skill sets - especially if these skills are in demand within the industry - experience and certification, if any. As long as the company perceives that you are worth the salary you expect, they will have no qualms offering you the amount in return for the anticipated contributions that you can bring to the company. However, stating a figure that is beyond a company's paying ability could potentially remove you from the race. Be realistic about whether your value, skills and experience do command your asking salary. Finally, engage. Enter the negotiation with confidence, professionalism - be factual, not emotional - and sincerity. Do not negotiate for the sake of negotiating, and do not pitch one employer against another to drive up the offer with no ...

Australia to aid tourism with 800,000 half-price domestic flights

SYDNEY (BLOOMBERG) - Australia's government will subsidise 800,000 half-price domestic flights as part of a A$1.2 billion (S$1.25 billion) package to prop up the nation's ailing tourism industry. To run from April 1 to July 31, the 50 per cent discounted air fares are designed to help tourism-dependent regions and should support airlines, hotels and hospitality venues, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in a statement on Thursday (March 11). The package also includes further support for the international aviation industry, and will expand a government-backed loan programme to small and medium-sized businesses. The subsidised tickets programme "means more jobs and investment for the tourism and aviation sectors as Australia heads towards winning our fight against Covid-19 and the restrictions that have hurt so many businesses," Mr Morrison said. Australia's domestic and international aviation industry has been badly damaged by the pandemic, even as the nation has managed to restrict the waves of infections that have roiled Europe and the US. While the government has provided billions in direct economic stimulus to help keep the economy afloat, it sees the need to deliver additional ...

US stocks end at records again as Biden eyes more stimulus

NEW YORK (AFP) - Wall Street stock indices closed at records again Friday (Jan 8) as anticipation of a new fiscal relief package offset poor December jobs figures. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.2 per cent at 31,097.97, its third straight record. The broad-based S&P 500 gained 0.6 per cent to 3,824.68, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 1.0 per cent to 13,201.98 - all-time highs for both indices. The United States lost 140,000 jobs in December, according to government data, as the worsening coronavirus pandemic undermined the economy's recovery and caused the first loss in employment since April. But investors took heart as President-elect Joe Biden pledged a wide-ranging fiscal package to support the coronavirus-ravaged US economy. "We need more direct relief flowing to families, small businesses, including finishing the job of getting people the $2,000 in relief direct payment," Biden said at an event after naming new Cabinet nominees. US stocks have rallied this week in spite of chaos in Washington after supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump stormed the nation's Capitol building in an unsuccessful effort to block Biden's election victory from b...

NEW YORK (AFP) - The Nasdaq powered to a fresh record on Tuesday (Dec 15), fuelled by optimism over coronavirus vaccines and revived congressional efforts to pass a spending package to boost the pandemic-hit US economy. All three major indices finished solidly higher, with the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite Index gaining 1.3 per cent to 12,595.06. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.1 per cent to close at 30,199.31, while the broad-based S&P 500 climbed 1.3 per cent to 3,694.62. Investors were cheered by positive statements from the US Food and Drug Administration about the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine, a strong sign that a group of experts that meets in two days could vote to approve it just days after the agency cleared the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The market also took an optimistic view of reports that bipartisan congressional leaders were set to meet in person Tuesday afternoon for the first time in months to advance a fiscal spending package after numerous earlier failures to reach agreement. The gains came as the Federal Reserve opened its final two-day monetary policy meeting of 2020. The US central bank is not expected to change policy, but will update its members' forecasts...

SINGAPORE - Young lawyers and those from small and medium-sized law firms will not need to pay mandatory membership fees to the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) for next year (2021) in the light of the economic fallout from Covid-19. SAL announced on Thursday (Oct 29) that it has pledged $1 million to waive the mandatory fees for over 4,500 legal professionals, in its second relief package for the profession. Those eligible for the latest relief scheme include lawyers who were called to the bar from 2016, and those working in a law firm with 10 lawyers or fewer. The membership fees, which all lawyers must pay, would have cost them between $128.40 and $374.50 each. SAL chief executive Serene Wee said this group needs the most support, based on a survey carried out by the academy in April. Said Ms Wee: "Five months after we announced our first-ever relief package for members, the economic fallout from Covid-19 continues, with no sign of abating any time soon. Many members continue to face challenging times and SAL stands in solidarity with them." In the first relief package, each member received $150 in credits to purchase SAL publications or sign up for learning programmes. Those who ...
