    THE next instalment of wage support totalling S$4 billion for over 140,000 employers will be disbursed from May 28, as part of the enhanced Jobs Support Scheme (JSS), the Ministry of Finance said in a press statement on May 17.

    For the payment in May, employers will receive 75 per cent support for the first S$4,600 of wages paid to local employees. This will be computed based on last November wages, and future JSS payouts will be adjusted to account for the actual wages paid in May 2020.
