What is Work Permit (Singapore)?
A Singapore work pass for semi-skilled and unskilled foreign workers in specific sectors (construction, manufacturing, marine shipyard, process, and services), subject to strict source country restrictions, employer quotas, and monthly foreign worker levies.
Why it matters in hiring
Work Permit (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.
