新加坡人力部長陳詩龍在國會書面答覆阿裕尼集選區議員嚴燕松有關WP和SP准證持有人被不當終止工作的問題。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
嚴燕松（阿裕尼集選區議員） 先生問人力部長：
(a) 過去 10 年中，WP或SP准證持有人提起了多少起不當解僱案件?
(b) 有多少此類案件中工人的上訴成功?
(c) 對於成功的案件，為工人提供了哪些補救措施?
(d) 是否大多數此類工人被允許繼續在新加坡工作?
陳詩龍（人力部長）醫生：多年來，人力部對其爭議解決和索賠管理流程進行了改進。在2019年之前，不當解僱索賠無需經過強制調解，我們也沒有全面跟蹤工作證類型和索賠結果。從2019年起，所有不當解僱索賠必須首先經過爭議管理三方聯盟的調解。只有在調解不成功的情況下，索賠才會被提交至僱傭糾紛索償庭（ECT）進行裁決。
從2019年到2023年，WP和SP 准證持有者提出了約400起不當解僱索賠（即每年約 80 起）。其中，約50%最終被工人撤回，40% 通過調解成功解決，10% 在僱傭糾紛索償庭（ECT）上得到裁決。在裁決的案件中，約30%的裁決對工人有利。在此過程中，工人的追索權可以包括金錢補償、將員工的解僱轉為辭職或僱主向員工提供服務證明。
我們沒有追蹤在提出不當解僱索賠後找到另一份工作的工人人數。
以下是英文質詢內容：
WRONGFUL TERMINATION OF WORK PERMIT OR S PASS HOLDERS
35 Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Minister for Manpower (a) how many wrongful termination cases have been filed by work permit or S Pass holders in the last 10 years; (b) in how many of such cases were the workers successful in their appeals; (c) for successful cases, what redress has been offered to the workers; and (d) whether the majority of such workers have been allowed to continue working in Singapore.
Dr Tan See Leng: The Ministry, has over the years, made enhancements to its dispute resolution and claims management process. Prior to 2019, wrongful dismissal claims did not have to go through mandatory mediation, and we did not comprehensively track work pass types nor claim outcomes. From 2019, all wrongful dismissal claims must first go through mediation at the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management. Claims can be referred to the Employment Claims Tribunals (ECT) for adjudication only if mediation is unsuccessful.
From 2019 to 2023, there were about 400 wrongful dismissal claims (or about 80 a year) filed by work permit and S pass holders. About 50% were eventually withdrawn by the worker, 40% were successfully resolved by mediation, and 10% were adjudicated at the ECT. Of the adjudicated cases, about 30% were ruled in favour of the worker. Recourse for the worker throughout this process can include monetary compensation, converting the employee’s dismissal into a resignation, or the employer providing the employee with a service testimonial.
We do not track the number of workers who found another job after filing a wrongful dismissal claim.
