SENIOR WORKER EARLY ADOPTER GRANT AND PART-TIME RE-EMPLOYMENT GRANT

Bill passed on 2 November 2021! The Retirement and Re-Employment Age raised to 63 and 68 respectively on 1 July 2022.

As Singapore faces a rapidly ageing workforce, senior employees form an integral asset of our economy. They are an important wealth of human resource and their contributions to the workforce should be valued and sustained. In accordance to statutory requirements, the Retirement Age is currently at 62 while the Re-Employment Age is at 67. The government will be progressively raising these ages so as to retain the seniors in the workforce and maximise their contributions. The table below shows the progressive raise of Retirement and Re-Employment Ages.

This grant aims to incentivise and encourage companies to raise their own internal Retirement and Re-Employment Age, ahead of the legislative schedule.

Companies will need to increase both Ages above by at least 3 years above minimum statutory requirements.

The funding quantum will be solely dependent on the number of senior workers aged 60 & above, multiplied by $2,500 per worker.

This grant aims to support employers who are able to commit to providing part-time employment opportunities to eligible senior workers upon their request.

The funding quantum will be solely dependent on the number of senior workers aged 60 & above, multiplied by $2,500 per worker.

All companies that are legally registered or incorporated in Singapore, and employing senior workers aged 60 & above, are eligible to apply for the grants. Companies are able to submit applications for both grants at the same time.

Applications can be submitted to either e2i or SNEF. The closing date for application is 30 June 2023. Please contact Woon at woon@sgvip4.noc401.com or 9824 1643 should you be interested to find out more about the above grants. Likewise, you could also fill up the form below.
