Tripartite Advisory on the Re-employment of Older Workers
As part of its efforts to help older workers remain economically productive, the Government will enact re-employment legislation by 2012 to enable more people to continue working beyond the current statutory retirement age of 62, up to 65 in the first instance and, later, up to 67. This change, accompanied by increased Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) for older, low-wage workers, will complement the CPF Minimum Sum Draw Down Age (DDA), which will progressively be raised from 2012.
To help employer prepare for legislation, a tripartite workgroup has released an advisory on re-employment practices. SNEF is targetting to lead re-employment by getting 1,000 employers to champion re-employment by adopting the advisory.

A Guide to Implement Monthly Variable Component (MVC) for Small & Medium Enterprises
MVC is a "standby" component to be used by employers to bring down wage costs in sudden and severe business downturns to survive and save jobs.
With the reduction of CPF contribution rate, there is little room to adjust wage cost through CPF cut in the future. Employers therefore should get ready MVC as an "emergency lever" to be used in bad times.
