1. Verify Your Senior Worker Eligibility

To unlock the PTRG, your business must have at least one resident Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident aged 60 or older on the payroll at the time of application and claim. 

Note that this worker cannot be a shareholder, an ACRA-listed director, or a direct family member of the company’s directors.

2. Update Your HR Manuals for FWAs

You must formally integrate Flexible Work Arrangements (FWAs) into your company’s official HR policy. This should include provisions for:

• Flexi-place (remote work)

• Flexi-time (staggered hours)

• Flexi-load (part-time structures)

You must also explicitly state your commitment to offering part-time re-employment to senior workers who request a reduction in their working hours.

3. Implement Structured Career Planning (SCP)

Your updated HR policy must mandate Structured Career Planning for all employees aged 45 and above. This involves scheduling formal career conversations at least once a year. 

You must also send one senior management representative and one HR practitioner to attend a fully funded SCP workshop hosted by the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF).

4. Adopt the Tripartite Standard on Age-Friendly Workplace Practices (TS-AWP)

Commit to the Tripartite Standard on Age-Friendly Workplace Practices (TS-AWP) by officially registering your adoption on the TAFEP portal. This proves your company champions fair, age-agnostic recruitment, offers tailored workplace health programmes, and maintains a physically supportive environment for older employees.

5. Submit Your Claim via the SNEF Portal

Ensure your payroll records, CPF contribution statements, and updated HR manuals are synchronised before submitting your application directly via the SNEF Grants Portal. 

As all third-party applications through unverified consultants are not allowed, ensure your documentation originates directly from your company’s verified records.
