Not Meeting the Fair Consideration Framework
According to the regulations of the Singapore MOM, under the Fair Consideration Framework (FCF), companies must first advertise for 14 days and fairly consider all candidates before submitting an EP (monthly salary below S$ 22500) application.
If MOM thinks that your EP application violates this framework, for example, some employers choose foreigners in advance before issuing recruitment advertisements, and do not review the applicants in the recruitment advertisements, while some employers post discriminatory recruitment advertisements, etc., your EP application may be rejected, or even serious, may be prohibited from employing foreign employees.
Related to Company Background
Sometimes, the reasons for EP application rejection can also be seen through the response from MOM.
If the business activities operated by the employer's company are considered unrelated to the Singapore economy, or if the industry to which the company belongs has little to do with Singapore, etc., MOM may reject your EP application, or further request information about the company's business activities, HR projects, etc., and ask for an explanation (why is it necessary to give the applicant an EP, and what special skills do locals not possess?)
The Applicant's Personal Situation and Job Responsibilities Do Not Match
EP applications are sometimes rejected because the salary, educational level, and relevant work experience of the applicant do not match the job position being applied for. MOM believes that it is very difficult for a foreigner to change his industry or workplace role. Unless he shows that he is competent, it is unnecessary to apply for EP.
The COMPASS Framework Score is Not Sufficient
This is easy to understand. To apply for an EP in Singapore, in addition to meeting the basic salary requirements, one must also pass the COMPASS. The total assessment score must meet the passing line of 40 points.
Above are the four most common reasons for EP rejection. Of course, in addition to these situations, there are many other factors. In the cases we have encountered, the reasons for rejection before customers find us are simply varied.
But that's not a problem! Leave it to us!
