ENHANCED TRAINING SUPPORT PACKAGE (ETSP) and ENHANCED ABSENTEE PAYROLL 

As part of the Stabilisation and Support Package and supplementary Resilience Budget announced by DPM Heng Swee Keat, enterprises(SMEs and non-SMEs) in the tourism, air transport, retail, food, and beverage (F&B), point-to-point transport/private bus companies, and arts and culture sectors will be eligible for the Enhanced Training Support Package (ETSP), comprising enhanced AP funding rate at 90% of hourly basic salary, capped at $10 per hour and enhanced Course Fee support at up to 90% of course fees. This is to support these enterprises who send their workers for selected sector-specific training programmes by SSG-appointed training partners. AP funding is not applicable to tourist guides, who are self-employed persons. From 1 May 2020, the enhanced absentee payroll rates will be further extended to cover all sectors. This will apply to all courses that are eligible for absentee payroll funding today, e.g. selected courses by SSG-appointed CET Centres or certifiable courses by other SSG-approved training providers. Employers are advised to check with the training providers on the courses that are eligible for absentee payroll funding. The ETSP will be time-limited to cover eligible courses starting before 1 Jan 2021.
