The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is looking to extend mediation services to more workers, regardless of job profile and salary.

The Tripartite Mediation Framework, which helps professionals, managers and executives (PMEs) settle disputes and grievances over salaries and contracts with their employers, is currently only available to managers and executives who earn up to S$4,500.

However, there are plans to scrap this salary cap and include rank-and-file workers at the same time.

The type of disputes the mediation framework can address could also be widened, for instance, to cover re-employment.

Together with the recently announced proposal for a small claims employment tribunal, the expanded mediation framework, when ready, is expected to give workers access to more avenues of recourse when disputes arise.
