Meaning of MYE?
Man Year for Work Permit?
Man-Year Entitlement
The Man-Year Entitlement (MYE) Allocation System is a Work Permit allocation system for construction workers from Non-Traditional Source (NTS) countries and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Companies without MYE may still employ NTS or PRC Construction Work Permit holders via the MYE-waiver category, subject to compliance with the Dependency Ratio Ceiling (DRC) by paying a higher MYE-waiver FWL rate.
MYE:
- Reflects the total number of Work Permit holders a main contractor is entitled to employ based on the value of projects/contracts awarded by developers / owners; and
- Is allocated in the form of the number of “man-years” required to complete a project (1 man-year = 1-year employment under a Work Permit)

Note:
From 1 January 2024, main contractors will no longer need to apply for MYE to hire Non-Traditional Sources (NTS) or People’s Republic of China (PRC) workers based on the value of their projects or contracts awarded.
This page is only applicable to construction and process companies that had applied for MYE with project contracts that were awarded or had the tender called on or before 18 February 2022. They will be allowed to use the awarded MYE quotas for hiring of NTS workers at a lower levy rate till 31 December 2024 or their project completion date (whichever is earlier).
