What is Absentee Payroll Funding in Singapore?

Absentee Payroll Funding in Singapore supports employers when their staff attend approved training courses during working hours. Under schemes like SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), companies can claim compensation for the salary paid to employees while they are away from work for training. This helps businesses upskill their workforce without bearing productivity loss. The funding is typically calculated based on hourly salary rates and capped according to SSG guidelines. Absentee Payroll is especially beneficial for SMEs looking to enhance employee skills while managing operational costs efficiently.
