New network to develop work injury compensation policies for platform workers

Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said on Friday that his ministry will set up the Platform Workers Work Injury Compensation Implementation Network, which will comprise platform companies, platform workers, insurers and tripartite partners.

The new network will consider perspectives from the various stakeholders when developing processes, such as for claims processing and the reporting of work injuries, said Dr Tan at the start of a dialogue session with platform workers organised by the National Trades Union Congress as part of its Every Worker Matters conversations, together with the Manpower Ministry.

The insurers are Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company, Chubb Insurance Singapore, Etiqa Insurance, Great Eastern General Insurance, Income Insurance and Singapore Life. Those aged 30 and above when this is implemented will also have a choice of opting in to the scheme, recognising that some workers may already have plans for their housing and retirement, and the Government does not want to disrupt that, said Dr Tan.

On representation, Dr Tan said the Tripartite Workgroup on Representation for Platform Workers, which is discussing the details of a new representation framework for platform workers, will announce its recommendations later in 2023.
