If company shut down and workers not able to work from home, company cannot deduct their leave or salary. Like those retails who are not essential service which need to close for 1 month.

Best if you can provide to Neost the black and white..yesterday at the other thread, a fellow forummer was asking on behalf of his foot massager friend...

Cannot deduct their leave, but I'm sure they can reduce salary.

sorry, just to check. Maybe already some one asked before but I missed the answer

Company shut due to circuit breaker is consider clearing annual leave + advance leave or what?

 

from his speech:

"I expect firms to make use of this Jobs Support Scheme to continue paying your workers and refrain from putting workers on no-pay leave during this period, or worse, retrenching them," said Mr Heng.

Employers who do not pay wages in April this year, for example by putting the employee on no-pay leave, will not benefit from the increase, the Ministry of Finance said in details provided on the scheme.

Terminal 2 to be closed for 18 months and also took this opportunity to speed up the upgrading work. When government announced terminal 2 to be closed for 18 months.. We know how serious things can go.. Government expect for next 1 year to be not in recovery, then next year for close to 1 year maybe start to recover.. So pray hard and standby for big impact..

ok. I think I am quite clear now. Continue to pay workers as if they are still working in the Company.

Very smart. Has the innovator analysed the effects of temperature on mask material integrity and filtration efficiency? 

If not, I think not very smart after all.

Lee Hsien Yang says fight Covid-19 first, “Since PAP’s defeat is an improbability, why the hurry to the polls?”

In a lengthy piece first published in the Malaysian media, Lee Hsien Yang, brother of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, opined about why “Singapore polls must wait”.

His opinion piece, titled, ‘Fight Covid-19 first, Singapore polls must wait’ published over the weekend (Apr 4), said that as Singaporeans prepare to stay at home under the “circuit breaker” measures, the incumbents will be going through the Parliamentary Elections (Covid-19 Special Arrangements) Bill.

The Bill will be introduced in Parliament to facilitate the temporary arrangements necessary for holding a safe general election while Covid-19 measures are in effect.

According to the Elections Department (ELD), “The Bill contains the necessary legislative provisions to allow ELD to implement temporary arrangements to ensure the safety of voters, candidates and election officials during parliamentary elections held on or before 14 April 2021”.

The younger Mr Lee wrote that “The Bill is an indication the PAP is putting its interests, and Lee’s, above those of the country and the people it rules”.

“For someone who urged Singaporeans to “trust that you are not working for personal gain, but for national interests”, Lee’s refusal to rule out an imminent election is baffling.

Since PAP’s defeat is an improbability, why the hurry to the polls? Does it fear the repercussions of the recession that is in the offing?” he added.

Citing an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases, Mr Lee asked, “Distracted by the push for an early election, did the PAP take its eye off the ball? Do Singaporeans feel the government is putting the welfare of its citizens above all else?”

He explained that despite the number of cases in Singapore increasing daily, the Disease Outbreak Response System Condition’ (DORSCON) remained at level Orange, and came amid netizens “poking fun at the DORSCON status and the colour of Lee’s tie, whether it was orange or red and the true signal of the state of the nation”.

Echoing a sentiment he expressed earlier, Mr Lee said, “If there was a time to yearn for the decisive, straight-talking Lee Kuan Yew and the leaders of old, it is now. Being straightforward and open was always the hallmark of Lee Kuan Yew”.

He continued, “The PAP of the past acted in the interests of Singaporeans and placed the greater good as its top priority. Singaporeans did not doubt this of the founding fathers of modern Singapore. Such trust needs to be earned by each successive generation of leaders”.

WFH where possible.

Where your job needs to be done on-site but non-essential, get paid to shake legs at home. 

But if the company wants to consider the latter as paid annual leave time I think that's very fair. Ridiculous to kpkb and demand additional paid vacation time when the crisis ends. Must be grateful to have a job through this time.

With covid they can afford to close entire T2 for upgrading work.

Our elite PM is a multi-tasker. He donno meh? I mean LHL has already shown he can take time off in the midst of fighting COVID-19 to fight his own brother and the brother still doesn't recognise his talent? 😂

They don’t need to. Most of them can always sleep well at night, cause there are no textbooks, guide books, Mathematics way formulate that “minor” decision.
