Agenda
2-phase Implementation
Transition to help firms to build up R1 to min R1% in 2017
1 Jan 17 onwards1 Jan 16
Upgrade 5%
Upgrading Phase Minimum R1% requirement1 2
1 Jan 15
At least 10% of firm’s WPHs must be R1
Upgrade 5%
DPM Tharman announced that firms must employ
a min. number of R1 workers
20162015
Cannot hire new R2 for 12 monthsor shorter if firms rectify
Example: Company A with 100 WPHs. Must upgrade 5% in 2015
What will happen to firms who do not meet the
stipulated requirements?
If firm upgrades
only 3%
Cannot hire new R2 until another 2%
upgraded
2016 Total
2% + 5% = 7%
Only firms who have more than 15% R1 WPHs are exempted
If a firm’s 3-month running average of R1%
falls below 10%
What if firms do not meet the 10% R1 requirements?
MOM tracks firms’ R1% based on 3- month average - similar to locals under the DRC
2017 Firm cannot hire new R2 worker until rectified
2018 Firm cannot hire new R2 worker & no renewal of R2 worker until rectified
2019 Firm cannot hire new R2 worker, no renewal of R2 worker, & release excess R2 until rectified

A Company who has already enrolled their workers for local SA tests MUST
complete the course and test programme (inclusive of those who failed and can go
for 1 retest directly) at local ATTCs.
3. Can employers send their existing workers not eligible for Coretrade registration for direct R1 test ?

are skilled enough.
Frequently Asked Questions
4. How to bring in workers whose (POE) > 10 years?
Upon receiving test results, employers are to register their workers for Multi-
Skilling at http://www.bca.gov.sg/MULTISKILL/. Only when worker’s MS status is
approved, then employer is able to submit his work permit application
in MOM Portal.
5. What are the other requirements for CoreTrade workers registered with OTCs for training and skills assessment?
A worker who has passed SA test shall report for verification in Singapore within 14 days unless otherwise. The employer will be notified to collect test results from BCA Enrolment. No transfer of employer (before and after test) or the WTU application will not be supported.
