The Part-Time Re-employment Grant (PTRG) will be extended to 31 December 2027, to support senior worker employment by providing grants to employers who offer part-time re-employment, flexible work arrangements, and structured career planning for senior workers. Applications reopen today, 18 December 2025.
Two-year Extension of the Part-Time Re-employment Grant
2 Due to continued demand, the Government will extend the PTRG for two years, to continue supporting senior worker employment by providing financial support to employers to offer part-time re-employment to their senior workers. This helps employers to employ or retain senior workers. Employers will receive $2,500 for employing each senior worker aged 60 years and above, subject to a cap of $125,000 per employer.
3 Since its introduction in 2020, the take-up of the PTRG has been encouraging. As of November 2025, more than 7,500 employers have tapped on the PTRG to support their employment or retention of senior workers. This has benefited more than 65,000 senior workers. More than $92 million has been disbursed since 2020.
4 The Singapore National Employers Federation is the appointed Programme Partner for the PTRG. More information about applying for the PTRG is available at go.gov.sg/mom-ptrg.
Additional Measures to Support Senior Employment
5 The PTRG complements a broader range of existing measures to strengthen support for senior employment. Employers can benefit from other schemes such as the Senior Employment Credit, which provides wage offsets of up to 7% to employers that hire senior workers aged 60 and over. Older workers may also tap on our programmes to upkeep their skills and employability. For example, the SkillsFuture Level-Up Programme provides greater support for mature workers aged 40 and above to reskill and upskill to improve their job prospects. Workforce Singapore’s Career Conversion Programme, which offers higher funding support for mature workers aged 40 and above, was recently enhanced to support a wider segment of mid-career switchers and employees.
6 MOM and tripartite partners have convened a Tripartite Workgroup on Senior Employment (TWG-SE) in July 2025, which focuses on empowering senior workers to be productive and employable, and promoting age-friendly jobs and workplaces. In addition, the TWG-SE has launched the Alliance for Action on Empowering Multi-Stage Careers for Mature Workers, bringing together 32 organisations to develop and prototype solutions in areas such as training, career guidance, job redesign, and flexi-load jobs, to facilitate and support senior employment.
