*  Construction

*  Manufacturing

*  Service

Quota requirement for S Pass holders

S Pass Sub-Dependency Ratio Ceiling (SDRC):
As announced earlier by the Government of Singapore, the new changes have taken place with effect from 01-Jan-2021 for certain Sectors to recruit the S Pass holders.
Under the quota, the number of S Pass holders your company can hire is capped at:
• 10% of the company’s total workforce in the services sector.
• 15% in the manufacturing sector.
• 15% in all other sectors: Construction, Marine Shipyard & Process.
Employers who exceed the quota will need to increase their local workforce or reduce the number of foreign workers.
Note:
  • When a DRC or a sub-DRC cut is implemented, firms will not be able to renew work passes of foreign workers that have exceeded the revised DRC or sub-DRC.
  • However, for the foreign workers above the DRC/sub-DRC limits, firms can retain them until their work passes expire to avoid disrupting existing operations.
