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

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
