Singapore provides up to $700 one-off payout for employees on no-pay leave

The support package is part of the new COVID-19 Recovery Grant (Temporary).

Singapore has launched a new COVID-19 Recovery Grant (Temporary) (CRG-T) support package for lower to middle income earners who are currently not receiving any CRG support with a one-off payout.

The Ministry of Finance said that the livelihoods of some workers have also been affected, such as those in F&B, hawkers, retail, arts as well as sports and fitness sectors.

"The Government will introduce the COVID-19 Recovery Grant (Temporary) scheme to provide one-off support for lower- to middle-income employees and self-employed persons who are financially impacted as a result of the tightened measures,” MOF said in a statement

Under the new CRG-T package, employees who are placed in an involuntary no-pay leave for at least one month may receive up to $700 whilst employees and self-employed persons facing income loss of at least 50% for at least 1 month may receive up to $500.

Application for the grant will be from 3 June to 2 July.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
