What is Employment of Foreign Manpower Act (Singapore)?

Singapore's primary legislation governing the employment of foreign workers, covering work pass requirements, employer obligations, foreign worker levies, dependency ratio ceilings, and penalties for illegal employment or work pass violations.

Why it matters in hiring

Employment of Foreign Manpower Act (Singapore) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
