Key Features of the EP Changes
5. The key features of the EP changes are:
•Q1 Pass: We will tighten the educational qualifications requirements so that only those from good quality institutions will be eligible. We will also move away from the single qualifying salary of $2,800 today. Instead, the applicant will have to earn a salary of at least $3,000, with the requirements depending on his qualifications and experience:
a) Young graduates from good institutions could qualify if they earn at least $3,000
b) Older applicants would have to command higher salaries to qualify, commensurate with the work experience and quality they are expected to bring
•P2 Pass: The qualifying salary will be raised from $4,000 to $4,500.
•P1 Pass: There will be no change in the qualifying salary for P1 Pass which remains at $8,000.
6. The new EP framework will retain the flexibility for MOM to consider, on a case-by-case basis, applicants with proven track records and exceptional skills-sets, but who may not have the qualifications required by the enhanced EP framework.
7. The enhanced EP framework will apply to all new EP applications from 1 January 2012. Thereafter, the qualifying EP salaries will be reviewed regularly to keep pace with the rising quality of the local workforce.
8. The changes amount to a significant shift in the EP framework. They aim to ensure that employers who need to augment their workforce hire foreigners with the right calibre, so that these employees add needed expertise and complement an increasingly qualified local workforce.
