What is the Part-Time Re-employment Grant (PTRG)?

Short answer

The Part-Time Re-employment Grant (PTRG), from Workforce Singapore, gives employers up to S$125,000 per company to support re-employing senior workers (aged 60+) on part-time or flexible terms. To qualify, the employer commits to a formal part-time re-employment policy. It helps SMEs retain experienced staff rather than lose their knowledge.

Key facts

  • Up to S$125,000 per company
  • Supports re-employing senior workers (aged 60+)
  • Requires a formal part-time re-employment policy
  • Run by Workforce Singapore (WSG)

PTRG is about keeping institutional knowledge. Senior workers who shift to part-time often carry the relationships and judgement a business can't easily replace — PTRG makes retaining them flexibly more affordable.

It pairs naturally with a workforce stack: PTRG for the senior-worker re-employment policy, CTC or CCP for reskilling, SFEC for training cost — for SMEs with an ageing workforce.
