Is It Necessary to Advertise Before Applying for EP?
2025-03-18
What is the Fair Consideration Framework?
The Fair Consideration Framework (FCF), introduced by the Singapore MOM in 2014, ensures that employers prioritize Singaporeans before hiring foreign employees. The specific measure is that before applying for a new Employment Pass employers must first publish at least 14 days of job advertisements in the job database to attract Singaporean job seekers.
What are The Latest Policy Regulations for the Fair Consideration Framework?
Under the FCF, companies must first publish job advertisements for 14 days and fairly consider all candidates before submitting EP (monthly salary below S$22500) applications.
What Conditions Can Exempt the Fair Consideration Framework?
1) The company has less than 10 employees;
2) The monthly salary for this position exceeds SGD 25000;
3) This position is filled through internal transfer within the company (your company's existing employees in Singapore are transferred to another branch, subsidiary, or affiliated company in Singapore).
Do Job Advertisements Have to Be At Least 14 Days?
Yes, before submitting an EP application, a recruitment advertisement needs to be posted first, and it takes at least 14 days to submit the EP application. However, we generally recommend posting for 28 days because the longer the advertisement is posted, the higher the success rate. However, if you are in a hurry to apply for a permit, you don't necessarily have to wait for 28 days, but it will take at least 14 days. It's up to you to handle urgent matters, case by case。
What Are the Consequences of Violating the Fair Consideration Framework?
If MOM thinks that your EP application violates this framework, for example, some employers choose foreigners in advance before issuing recruitment advertisements, and do not review the applicants in the recruitment advertisements, while some employers post discriminatory recruitment advertisements, etc., your EP application may be rejected, or even serious, may be prohibited from employing foreign employees.
