Second, do you also know that when companies would like to hire workers on Employment Passes (E Pass),
do not need to pay additional levies on these workers or adhere to any quota?
To qualify for the E Pass, foreign workers are required to “earn at least $3,000“. This means that workers on E Passes would directly compete with Singaporean university graduates, whom starting pay is $3,000.
