Breaking News - from the Business Times: THE Ministry of Manpower on Monday announced new rules requiring employers to consider Singaporeans fairly for job vacancies before hiring foreign professionals, managers and executives (PMEs) on the employment pass (EP). From August 1, 2014, firms making new EP applications must first advertise for these jobs on a new jobs bank to be administered by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA). The advertisement must be open to Singaporeans, comply with the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices, and run for at least 14 calendar days. Small firms with 25 or fewer employees, and those jobs which pay a fixed monthly salary of S$12,000 and above, will be exempted from the advertising requirement for practical reasons, MOM said.
