IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? The Ministry of Manpower has added a new category that will be exempt from the new Fair Consideration Framework.
What does the change mean? Companies will not have to advertise for short-term assignments of less than one month.
Background: The Ministry of Manpower recently announced the new exemption in anticipation of the Fair Consideration Framework, which begins Aug. 1 and requires employers to advertise job positions before applying for Employment Passes for foreign workers.
The Ministry of Manpower will not require employers to advertise for workers on short-term contingencies of less than one month.
Other previously announced exemptions from advertising include ICTs (intracompany transferees), jobs in firms with 25 or fewer employees, and jobs that pay a fixed monthly salary of US$12,000 or more.
BAL Analysis: Employers can now avoid the lengthy and burdensome advertising requirement for short-term job assignments.
