2024年9月9日，新加坡人力部长陈诗龙医生在国会答复蔡厝港集选区议员黄文鸿有关支持雇用残疾人企业的措施问题。
以下内容为新加坡眼根据国会英文资料翻译整理：
除了利用客工配额调整作为激励企业雇用残疾人外，目前正在考虑采取哪些其他措施来支持雇用残疾新加坡人的企业，特别是在应对运营挑战方面？
陈诗龙医生（人力部长）：目前有几项措施可以支持雇用残疾新加坡人的企业。开放门计划 (ODP) 为雇主提供长达一年的免费招聘和就业支持服务。新加坡协助残障者自立局（SG Enable，简称新协立）是新加坡残疾与融合事务的协调机构，它支持公司调整工作角色和工作环境，使之更适合残疾人 (PwDs)。开放门计划 (ODP)下的“工作重新设计补助金”最多可支付残疾员工重新设计工作岗位和改造工作场所费用的90%。开放门计划 (ODP)培训补助金为课程提供高达90%的学费补贴，例如新协立（SG Enable）的“高影响力招聘和就业课程”，该课程为雇用残疾人的雇主提供全面和结构化的培训框架。2023 年，调高残障人士雇佣补贴（Enabling Employment Credit，简称EEC）为雇主提供工资支持，以抵消雇用月收入低于4,000新元的残疾人的成本。
我们鼓励雇主利用各种措施来支持残疾人的就业。政府将继续审查这些措施，以确保我们能够更好地支持雇主及残疾人就业。
以下是英文质询内容：
Mr Don Wee asked the Minister for Manpower in lieu of using of foreign worker quota adjustments as a lever to incentivise companies to hire special needs workers, what alternative measures are being considered to support companies that employ Singaporeans with special needs, particularly in managing operational challenges.
Dr Tan See Leng: There are several measures today that support companies that employ Singaporeans with special needs. The Open Door Programme (ODP) provides employers with up to one year of complimentary recruitment and job support services. SG Enable, the focal agency for disability and inclusion in Singapore, supports companies in adapting the job role and work environment to better suit persons with disabilities (PwDs). The Job Redesign Grant, under the ODP, covers up to 90% of the cost of job redesign and workplace modifications for employees with disabilities. The ODP Training Grant provides course fee subsidies of up to 90% for courses, such as SG Enable’s High Impact Recruitment and Employment workshops, which provide a comprehensive and structured training framework for employers hiring PwDs. The Enabling Employment Credit, which was enhanced in 2023, provides wage support for employers to offset the cost of hiring PwDs earning below $4,000 a month.
We encourage employers to tap on the various measures to support employment of PwDs. The Government will continue to review these measures to ensure that we can better support the employment of PwDs and their employers.
