GET MORE WITH WORKFARE
Workfare encourages Singaporeans earning up to $1,900 per month to continue working and training. Workfare has been enhanced in 2013 to provide better support to eligible Singaporeans.
WIS rewards work by providing more income and CPF savings to Singaporean workers when they work and stay employed.
Enhancements relating to the WIS Scheme were announced during Budget Speech 2013.
About 480,000 Singaporeans are expected to receive $650 million in WIS for work done in 2013. The changes will apply to work done from 1 January 2013 onwards.
This means the first WIS payment under the enhanced scheme will be made to employees on 1 June 2013 for work done from January to March 2013. More details on the changes can be found here.
Here's how WIS benefits you:
WTS complements WIS by encouraging Singaporean workers to attend training to improve their skills. WTS also supports employers to send their workers for training.
Enhancements relating to the WTS Scheme were announced during the Ministry of Manpower's Committee of Supply Speech on
14 March 2013.
