The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham. Update text
All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable.
If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.

04 Mar 2018Press Releases

Second Minister for Manpower Mrs Josephine Teo launched the Tripartite Standard on Contracting with Self-Employed Persons (SEPs) today in her speech during the Ministry of Manpower’s Committee of Supply parliamentary debates. The Tripartite Standard (please refer to the Annex for full specifications) was one of the recommendations from the Tripartite Workgroup on SEPs1 accepted by the Government to improve contracting norms.The Government had accepted all the recommendations.

2. Businesses which adopt the Tripartite Standard will be listed on the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices’ (TAFEP) website, and can use a logomark in their corporate and marketing collateral. This will allow SEPs to identify progressive service-buyers and intermediaries, and also help businesses to distinguish themselves.

3. Interested business may visit tafep.sg to adopt or find out more about the Tripartite Standard.

Definition of Self-Employed Persons (SEPs)

  • SEPs refer to persons who operate their own trade or business. Those who do not employ any paid worker and are not contributing family members are also known as “own account workers”. “Own account worker” is the more formal term used in MOM’s Labour Force Supplementary Survey on Own Account Workers, and which closely follows the International Labour Organization’s classification of Status in Employment. SEPs are also known loosely as “freelancers” or “independent contractors”.
  • SEPs work in diverse occupations and include taxi drivers, real estate agents, insurance agents, private hire car drivers and private tutors.
  • SEPs are not casual, temporary, or term-contract employees who are on employment contracts for fixed periods of time.

Footnote

  • 1. The Tripartite Workgroup (TWG), formed in 2017 to identify common challenges faced by SEPs and develop recommendations to address these challenges, submitted its report to the Government on 21 February 2018. Comprising officials from MOM, NTUC and SNEF, the TWG engaged and consulted about 200 SEPs as well as SEP associations and communities, businesses, and Government agencies.
