Companies retrenching workers should give medical and healthcare support for one year after leaving.

Reported Singapore is most expensive city in the world with costly medical and HealthCare.

After being retrenched, company should still cover costs of retrenched workers seeing a doctor including  hospitalisation for at least one year.

Employers lay off staff in order to cut costs.  Why would they continue to provide healthcare support to ex-workers? Many of these retrenched persons are probably older employees who are likely to spend more on their medical expenses.

The MIW call themselves "pro-business" which is an euphemism for "pro-employer" or "not pro-employee".  We are treated like economic digits keeping the cogs of the wheels spinning to earn more for the country, so that the MIW may continue to draw their humongous wages.

More Sinkies are dying at home than ever before owing to anxiety, stress, fatigue, poor nutrition, the Covid-19 vax etc.

They are not sacked..

As majority are older staff, medical support is more important and needed most.

Then, MPs must answer those questions..

It could be added in as part of retrenchment benefits..

I agree 100% that support for these retrenched staff is of paramount importance when they are out of a job.  However, employers who are only concerned with the bottom line will see these laid off workers as "no longer their problem".

Then, it's for NTUC Union and MOM to negotiate and fight for retrenched workers.

MPs left politics still receiving pension and bodyguards

Company can set provision based on % of last salary (retrenchment benefits) IE an amount for each employee's medical expenses covering for one year upon retrenchment.

Each employee's entitlement is different.

The workers' unions in S'pore cower in fear of the Govt. They are not pro-employees, but pro-MIW.

If you are an employer running a business and have to cut costs by laying off 10% of your workforce, would you continue to cover the medical expenses of these former staff for up to a year, at a time when your company is fighting for survival?
