Programme Introduction

1. Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) is pleased to bring you the 2nd Briefing on Changes to Absentee Payroll Funding (AP) and Skills Development Fund (SDF), organized due to repeated requests from members and those who have missed the 1st briefing on 7 May 2008.

2. The rates of the AP funding have been revised with effect from 1 April 2008. AP is awarded to Applicant Companies for the purpose of defraying the manpower costs incurred when they send their employees for training during working hours! 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. We have invited speakers from WDA once again to give our employers an overview of the Skills Development Fund (SDF). 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 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. At this briefing, SNEF would also be sharing with you the WSQ Customer Service Professional offered by our SNEF Training Institute.
