Mandatory Retrenchment Notifications
You must notify MOM of retrenchments within 5 working days after notifying your employee of their retrenchment.
If you have finalised your retrenchment plans but have not informed your employees, you are encouraged to submit early alerts to MOM to receive outplacement support from WSG/e2i to assist your affected local employees with job search and training needs.
