Singapore MOM to Review Return-to-Work Paths for Injured/Ill Workers
Review of Return-to-Work Support for Workers
Singapore's Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is reviewing 'return-to-work' support pathways for employees recovering from injury or illness. This review aims to broaden the scope of support beyond just workplace injuries to include those recovering from serious illnesses, ensuring more workers can return to their jobs after health challenges.
NTUC's Proposal for Wage Support
Melvin Yong, Assistant Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), stated that 'return-to-work' support should be expanded to include workers recovering from serious illnesses, not just those injured at the workplace. The NTUC has suggested including wage support as part of these pathways to help workers transition back into their roles more smoothly and effectively.
