Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 3: Gerald Giam on ‘more progressive’ sick leave arrangements
Amend the law to entitle workers to two days of paid sick leave and eight days of hospitalisation after one month of service. This would increase after the completion of two months of service. MP Gerald Giam issued that call in Parliament on Friday (Mar 4), noting that short-term employment contracts have become increasingly common. He said tax reliefs and public recognition could be extended to employers who implement these “more progressive” sick leave arrangements.
