Under the Stabilisation and Support Package (SSP), SSG is providing enhanced course fee subsidies
and absentee payroll funding for employers in sectors directly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak (i.e.
air& land transport, tourism, retail, and food services), when they sponsor their workers for eligible
courses. These enhancements will last for three months and aim to encourage employers to make use
of the downtime to send their workers for training, such that companies can be in a position of strength
to capitalise on the upswing when the economy recovers.
In view of the worsening COVID-19 situation and the increasingly uncertain economic outlook, SSG
will further enhance training support measures to provide greater help to companies.
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 training providers on the courses that are eligible for absentee
payroll funding.

The enhanced absentee payroll will cover eligible courses that start before 1 January 2021. This will
provide sustained support for employers to upskill their workers as they prepare for recovery.
