Make sure you know the company’s current foreign employee quota

People in Singapore and permanent residents are protected from falling behind foreign nationals in competitive circumstances by the government. As a result, the maximum number of S Pass holders that one organisation may employ is limited.

Individual company owners: For those of you who have never applied for a S Pass before, you will need to provide information about your company in order to get an idea of your quota.

The maximum number of S Pass holders that businesses may hire is 10% of the total number of employees employed by the firm in the services sector, according to the allotment.

In the industrial sector, 20% of the workforce, and in all other sectors, 18% of the workforce.

When the Singapore Budget 2022 was released, the Dependency Ratio Ceiling for the construction and process sector was reduced to 1:5. The DRC refers to the maximum number of S Pass and Work Permit holders that the company is well allowed to employ.

Employers that take on more employees than the statutory quota must comply with the following requirements:

Be allowed to keep their additional employees in place until the S Passes now in use expire.

You will not be able to apply for a new or renewed S Pass if you go over the quota.

Prepare to shell out the S Pass fee

The S Pass levy is a pricing mechanism that is used to limit the number of immigrants. Each S Pass holder employed by a company must be charged by the company’s owners. Until the work permit is cancelled or allowed to expire, the S Pass holder has an ongoing duty to pay the levy. To learn more about the S Pass Quota and Levy, please visit this website. Owners of firms must use the GIRO system to pay their fees.
