Why You Should Protect Yourself As You Build Your Business
The economic slump brought about by COVID-19 pandemic has wrecked chaos on companies set up in Singapore, especially for small and medium companies. Despite the measures such as the Jobs Support Scheme (JSS) that the Government had implemented to assist in holding back retrenchments and offsetting employees’ wages, the pandemic and its impact are enduring.
The rapidly rising retrenchments and unemployment rates have severely affected many industries especially F&B, aviation, hospitality and fitness services. According to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), Singapore experienced the worst-ever quarterly fall in employment as retrenchments doubled, from 3,220 to 6,700 worker being laid off in Q2 last year.
Keeping Yourself Protected in These Unpredictable and Tough Times
Times are tough for businesses, despite implementing aggressive cost-cutting measures, many companies have gone through rounds of retrenchments. Even those who run their own business has had to close their operations.
Many find themselves suddenly without an income and financially unprotected. As such, it is critical to make stormy-day plans such as having daily cash payouts when you’re hospitalised or on a long term medical certificate to help you manage medical expenses and you can focus on recovery.
