For Construction Sector Employers – Helping You Manage Your Manpower Needs

Govt agencies have worked with firms to resume work, almost all projects restarted. MOM is aware some companies experiencing lack of manpower.

MOM has started approving work pass applications from countries with lower health risk.

Try to retain your existing workers:
- You can renew Work Passes as early as two months before expiry
- Work out mutually acceptable terms early to keep workers, or you may lose them to other employers
- If you do not need your workers, agree to transfer them out to others

Hiring workers from other companies:
- Generally, you can apply for workers no longer needed by other employers if the employer agrees to the transfer
- Discuss and mutually agree with workers and existing employers for smooth transfers
- Avoid poaching from one another

MOM will come down hard on companies who falsely declare there is written consent from existing employers on transfers. Employment agents involved will also be penalised.

给建筑业雇主的通告 - 帮助您管理您的人力需求

政府机构已经与各公司合作让建筑业者复工，几乎所有工程项目都已重新启动。人力部了解到有一些公司正面对外籍建筑工人短缺的问题。

人力部已经开始批准业者的工作准证申请，允许业者从染病风险较低的国家引进工人。

请尽量留住您现有的工人：
- 您可以在工作准证到期前的两个月更新他们的工作准证。
- 尽早与您的工人定下双方都能接受的雇佣条件，以留住他们。否则，他们可能会转而选择为其他雇主工作。
- 如果您已不再需要这些工人，您可同意把他们转让给其他雇主。

雇用其他公司的工人：
- 一般来说，如果现有雇主同意转让不再聘用的工人，您可以为该名工人申请准证。
- 你应该与工人和他们现有的雇主商量好转让工人的事宜，以确保工人能顺利地转到您的公司工作。
- 避免互相挖角。

人力部将严厉对付那些谎称得到现有雇主书面同意转让工人的公司。涉及这类案件的劳务中介也将受到惩处。
