Extension of Wage Subsidies under the Job Support Scheme for Built Environment Sector

17/08/2020

Wage subsidies under the Jobs Support Scheme (JSS) will be extended by up to seven months to help employers to retain their local workers.

The subsidies will now cover wages paid up to March 2021 for firms in sectors harder hit by the Covid-19 crisis, and up to December this year for sectors which are managing well, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said in a ministerial statement on Monday (Aug 17).

Those in the built environment sector will receive 50 per cent of wages paid in September and October, and then 30 per cent of wages paid until March, as construction activity resumes in phases.
