Assoc Prof Jamus Jerome Lim asked the Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for public sector employees who have reached the prevailing Minimum Retirement Age and have been re-employed by the Public Service, whether their full tenure will be considered for long service benefits, as provided for in clause 29 of the Tripartite Guidelines on the Re-employment of Older Employees.
Mr Chan Chun Sing (for the Prime Minister): The Public Service Re-employment Guidelines are aligned to the Tripartite Guidelines on the Re-employment of Older Employees.
In the Public Service, re-employed officers generally enjoy the same benefits as pre-retirement officers. Key benefits, such as medical and dental treatment benefits, are not differentiated by years in service. Re-employed officers will have their past years of service considered for their vacation leave entitlement and are eligible for the Special Appreciation Award which recognises their continuous service in re-employment, in lieu of the Long Service Award.
