Levies & Quotas for Hiring Foreign Workers

The Foreign Worker Levy, commonly known as ‘levy’ is a pricing mechanism to regulate the number of Foreign Workers (including Foreign Domestic Workers) in Singapore. While they are not required to pay Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions for Foreign Workers, employers are liable to pay monthly levies to hire employees who hold Work Permits or S Passes.
