Part-Time Re-Employment Grant (PTRG)
The Part-time Re-employment Grant (PTRG) provides funding to employers who offer part-time re-employment, other flexible work arrangements (FWAs), and structured career planning (SCP) to senior workers. The grant aims to provide more flexible work options to attract and retain senior workers and encourage them to stay in the workforce. PTRG was introduced as part of the Senior Worker Support Package in 2020 and has been extended until 2027. The Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) is the sole appointed Programme Partner for the PTRG, and the grant incentivises employers to create comprehensive support structures for senior workers.
