Programme Introduction
1. Due to overwhelming response for the 1st briefing on 30 Jan, the Singapore National Employers Federation, together with SBF, is pleased to organize a re-run on the Briefing on Proposed Work Injury Compensation Act.
2. The Workmen's Compensation Act provides an expedient, low-cost compensation system that is an alternative to claims under common law. The Act has been reviewed to ensure fair and prompt compensation, safeguard the interests of injured employees as well as protect employers against fraudulent claims.
3. The proposed amendments to the Workmen’s Compensation Act was debated in Parliament in January 2008. The changes are expected to take effect from 1 April 2008, after which the Act would be renamed the Work Injury Compensation Act. Proposed changes include updating the compensation levels, expanding the coverage of the Act to more employees and enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the compensation process. More details are available on www.mom.gov.sg.
4. We have invited the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to provide members with an overview of the current Workmen's Compensation Act and outline the proposed changes to the Act.
5. SNEF members are encouraged to attend! You will receive up-to-date information and have the opportunity to seek clarification with MOM itself at the Q & A session.
