Strong enforcement measures will guard against new EP system fraud
Manpower minister says processes similar to preventing fraud on salary, education qualifications to be developed
Singapore
THERE will be strong enforcement measures to guard against employers attempting to game the Complementarity Assessment Framework (Compass), the new points-based system to assess Employment Pass (EP) applicants and their employers, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng in Parliament on Monday (Mar 7).
Noting that there are already verification processes to prevent fraud for salary and educational qualifications, Dr Tan said similar processes will be developed for the new criteria, such as whether the applicant's job role is listed on the official "shortage occupation list".
