EMPLOYERS who force their staff to take leave for the mandatory 14-day stay-home notice or leave of absence (LOA) could have their work-pass privileges suspended, said the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) on Friday.
They may be similarly penalised if they ask workers who did not go to mainland China - and thus do not need to serve the 14-day periods - to take no-pay leave, it added.
