SINGAPORE Budget 2016: Higher payouts, more support for disabled, low-wage workers

24 Mar 2016

Employers who hire workers with disabilities who earn up to S$4,000 a month will continue to receive the Special Employment Credit (SEC) scheme. They will receive a credit of up to 16 per cent of the employee’s wages, twice as high as the SEC for older workers.

The Workfare Training Support scheme, currently for low-wage workers who are 35 and above, will be extended to those with disabilities who earn low wages and are under 35, to better support them in their learning.

The Public Service will also expand job opportunities for those with disabilities, with support from SGEnable, Mr Heng said, adding that more details will be announced in the Committee of Supply debate.
