MOF rolls out $4b wage support

This is expected to benefit over 140,000 employers.

The Ministry of Finance (MOF) will release a $4b wage support from 28 May as part of the enhanced Jobs Support Scheme (JSS), an announcement revealed.

This is expected to benefit over 140,000 employers.

MOF stated that employers do not need to apply for the scheme as the cash grant will be automatically computed based on CPF contribution data as at 14 February.

They are encouraged to sign up for PayNow Corporate by 22 May to receive faster payouts and may expect to receive the payment by 28 May. Other employers will receive their cheques between 3 and 5 June.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
