How should I calculate my quota for foreign workers?

Your local employee must earn the Local Qualifying Salary (LQS) of at least $1,600 before they can be counted towards your quota entitlement.

From 1 July 2020, A Singaporean or Permanent Resident employee employed under a contract of service, including the company’s director, is counted as:

• 1 local employee if they earn the LQS of at least $1,600 per month.
• 5 local employee if they earn half the LQS of at least $800 to below $1,600 per month.

You can use the Quota calculator at MOM website at: www.mom.gov.sg
