Covers and Sums Insured in SGD
sum-insured to be sufficient on a New-for-Old replacement value

Going by MOM regulation, we will need to arrange the insurance for:
– All employees doing manual work, regardless of salary level; and
– All employees doing non-manual work and earning $1,600 or less a month.
For other employees, you have the flexibility to decide whether to buy insurance for them. However, if those employees make a valid claim, you will have to compensate them regardless of whether they are insured.

The declared wages must consist of the normal wages, food and housing allowances, overtime payments, bonuses and AWS but excluding travelling allowances and employers’ CPF contributions.
