WorkRight Initiative: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the WorkRight Initiative ensures low-wage workers receive correct pay and compliance with national labor laws.
The WorkRight Initiative is a program designed to ensure that low-wage workers are treated fairly according to national labor standards.
Who it's for
This scheme is for low-wage workers and the employers who hire them.
What you get
The initiative helps ensure that businesses are following the law regarding minimum wage requirements and Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions. It serves as a way to maintain fairness and legal compliance in the workplace.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to participate, but it does require strict record-keeping. Both employers and employees must maintain accurate logs of working hours and all wages paid.
The catch to know
If a government audit takes place, you cannot use the excuse that you were unaware of the law. It is your responsibility to ensure all regulations are being met at all times.
How to apply
- Ensure your business is following all current wage and fund contribution laws.
- Set up a system to track all employee hours and payments accurately.
- Review your payroll regularly to confirm compliance with the latest regulations.
