*With the introduction of the Jobs Growth Incentive (JGI) on 1 Sep 2020, Workforce Singapore (WSG) will be making temporary adjustments to the salary support disbursements for all new hires on CCPs for the period between 1st Sep 2020 to 31st March 2023, which coincides with the qualifying period of the JGI. The intent is to spread out salary support disbursements over a longer period to encourage companies to retain new hires under the CCPs. The duration of funding will now include the original training duration and an additional retention period equivalent to the training duration. Overall salary support funding per new hire remains unchanged
