Programme Introduction

1. Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) is pleased to bring you the Briefing on Changes to the Skills Redevelopment Programme (SRP). The rates of this SRP funding would be revised with effect from 1 April 2008. Do you know that absentee payroll funding is awarded to Applicant Companies for the purpose of defraying the manpower costs incurred when they send their employees for training during working hours?

2. If the training is conducted outside the working hours of employees, the absentee payroll funding is awarded for the purpose of alleviating the opportunity costs of employees, and the funding is to be paid to employees via the employer together with the mandatory top-up to be made by the employer.

3. Also due to overwhelming response from our previous SDL & SDF briefings and for those who have missed, we have invited speakers from WDA once again to give our employers an overview of the Skills Development Levy (SDL) and the Skills Development Fund (SDF).

4. A Skills Development Levy is required by law under the Skill Development Levy Act .The levy collected is channeled into the Skills Development Fund, which is used by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) to incentivise employers to send their workers for training. Incentives are offered on the basis of a cost-sharing principle and the training must be relevant to the economic development of Singapore.

5. Still unsure of what the SRP and SDF can do for your organization? Don’t hesitate and sign up now! Who better to ask than WDA, the organization dispensing the funds?
