Programme Introduction




1. The Government has recently announced that higher tax deduction for medical expenses will be extended to employers who provide their employees with Shield plans (MediShield or Medisave-approved private integrated plan) or make ad-hoc contributions to their employees' Medisave account. The exact details of implementation are being worked out by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Manpower and would be made available to employers at a later date.

2. With shorter employment tenure and frequent job changes in the new labour market, employees will need continual inpatient medical provision when they change jobs or during the period of unemployment. Raffles Hotel (1886) Ltd is one of the leading organizations who have implemented PMBS and we are pleased to have invited Ms Jennifer Tan, Director of HR to share with us on their employment practices.

3. All members are encouraged to attend the session!
