[Just announced: The JGI has been extended to September 2022]

The Jobs Growth Incentive (JGI) supports hiring plans by providing salary support to eligible companies and employees. During this period, your new local employee (Singaporean Citizens and Singapore Permanent Residents) may be eligible for the 25% salary support for those under 40, or 50% for those above 40 years old.

In phase 2 of the JGI scheme, all employers who have made timely mandatory CPF contributions and achieved the increases in their local workforce between March 2021 and September 2021 (inclusive), compared to the February 2021 local workforce will be eligible for the salary support. The two key conditions are:

• Condition 1 – Increase in overall local workforce; AND
• Condition 2 – Increase in local employees earning gross wages of at least $1,400 per month 

In order to receive the JGI in full for the 12 months from the month of hire for each new local hire, the employer must have qualified for JGI during the eligibility period. Employers also have to continually meet the eligibility criteria for the entire payout period, i.e. September 2021 to January 2022.

Jobs Growth Incentive Phase 3 Update

For Phase 3 from October 2021 to March 2022, the salary support for each non-mature local hire will be for up to 6 months for non-mature local hires and 12 months for mature, PwD or ex-offender local hires.

Here are more information about the changes in Phase 3 of the Jobs Growth Incentive (JGI Extension).
