SINGAPORE – The waiver of foreign worker levies for S Pass and work permit holders for the duration of their stay-home notice (SHN) period will be extended to the end of the year, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng on Monday (Sept 20).
This is to help employers bring in workers safely and give them more time to adjust and manage the costs of SHN requirements.
Dr Tan, who is also the second minister for Trade and Industry, added it is also to support the construction sector which has been badly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The waiver applies to migrant domestic workers as well. The waiver period was due to end this month (September).
