SINGAPORE - It is not reasonable or fair practice to appraise or pay workers based on how much medical leave they use, Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said on Monday .

The Manpower Ministry will work with trade associations and chambers to clarify to employers that attendance-based incentive schemes go against the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices , he said.

Responding to separate parliamentary questions from Nominated MP Shahira Abdullah and Workers' Party MP Leon Perera , Dr Tan said that the ministry does not collect data on the prevalence of attendance-related incentive schemes. "To the extent that attendance incentive schemes discourage the taking of sick leave, even if unintentionally, it contradicts the overriding principle to protect the well-being of workers," he added.

Tell this to NS army, take MC, commanders say chao keng don't want give you up rank.

So stupid. Whoever started this needs to go back to 101 HR and Management retraining. If this is leadership mindset... They were totally disconnected with reality.

Stop reinventing the wheel.

Why not? Comparing to MOH’s “Unvaccinated employees can not go to workplace and eventually lose their job”, which is worse?

People who didn't know the origin of this is that it was an ADDED incentive look after your body and take no MC, not deduction of base pay because you took MC.
