The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has curbed the work pass privileges of marine company Prime Gold International Pte Ltd (Prime Gold) for two years for engaging in discriminatory employment practices in breach of the Fair Consideration Framework (FCF).
Under the FCF, all firms must consider Singaporeans fairly for job vacancies. They should also put in place fair hiring, employment, and staff development practices that are open, merit-based and non-discriminatory.
This is the first time a company has been given such a ban, although MOM has previously taken action against 100 odd companies for posting discriminatory job advertisements.
