SINGAPORE - Labour Chief Ng Chee Meng is urging employers to retain workers and to refrain from wage cuts, noting that the the government has rolled out measures to help companies.
"With the Covid-19 circuit breaker measures, I know that many of you are worried about job security. Some of you worry about losing your jobs; some worry whether you will have a pay cut. And if this happens, you worry about how to put food on the table, not just for yourself, but your family," he said."I, too, am concerned because it is my job as the Labour Chief to worry about the things that you worry about.
Mr Ng cited the Jobs Support Scheme that will give employers a 75 per cent subsidy for the first $4,600 of gross wages paid for all local employees.
