What is the duration of Job advertising requirement while hiring S Pass holders?
Advertising requirements
The advertisement should clearly explain the job requirements and salary offered to attract the right candidates.
MOM will reject any S Pass applications linked to advertisements that are discriminatory or do not represent the job accurately:
- The advertisement must not contain discriminatory words or phrases – see examples.
- The job advertised must match the occupation in the S Pass application.
- The employer submitting the S Pass application must be the same as the one in the job advertisement.
- The salary offered must be clear, specific, and consistent. Therefore the salary range advertised:
- Must be visible to all candidates and cannot be hidden.
- Cannot be too broad, i.e. the maximum salary cannot exceed two times of the minimum salary.
- Must contain the salary offered to the S Pass candidate.
- The advertisement must be open for at least 14 days to allow job seekers to view and apply for the vacancy.
- If you change any advertisement details (e.g. job title, salary or number of vacancies), you must keep it open for at least another 14 days before you can submit the S Pass application. This is to ensure that job seekers are aware of the updated job details and have a chance to apply for it.
- Job advertisements that have expired or have closed for more than 3 months cannot be used for S Pass applications. You must advertise the vacancy again to reach out to other job seekers.
- If you are using an advertisement for multiple S Pass applications, the total number of S Pass applications cannot exceed the number of vacancies in the advertisement.
