An S Pass holder can be transferred to a related company in Singapore (i.e. branch, subsidiary, or affiliated company). The current employer will need to follow these steps:

1. Check with the related company to ensure it has sufficient S Pass quota.
2. Get the related company to apply for a new S Pass for the pass holder. The related company doesn’t need to advertise the position on MyCareersFuture.
3. Cancel the existing S Pass when the employment ends. Cancellation must be done before the related company can get the new S Pass issued. 

Who does this: Employer

As an employer, you must notify us if you lower or raise a pass holder's salary. 

If you lower the salary

You can submit a request at least 1 month before the date you intend to lower the salary. 

The pass holder must continue to qualify for the work pass that he is holding with the revised salary. Otherwise, you should cancel the work pass and apply for a new work pass based on his eligibility.

If you raise the salary

You don't need to inform us immediately unless you are applying for dependant privileges.

Instead, you can indicate the change in salary when you renew the S Pass.

Applying for dependant privileges

If you have raised your salary and you intend to apply for dependant privileges, you need to submit a request and upload the following documents:

• Pass holder's itemised payslips for past 3 months.
• A clear copy of the pass holder's latest IRAS statement.

This request will be valid for 2 years, but you can submit a request to withdraw at any time.
