* The increase in the internal Retirement Age (RA) and Re-employment Age (REA) of a minimum of 3 years (from existing statutory RA and REA of 62 and 67 respectively) to qualify for the SW EAG would be applicable only if companies apply for the grant before 5 July 2021. 

If the application of the grant is on 5 July 2021 or after, companies would have to raise their internal RA and REA to at least 66 and 71 respectively, i.e. a minimum of 3 years from the new RA and REA of 63 and 68 respectively that would take effect on 1 July 2022. This allows senior workers in these firms to benefit fully from three years of higher internal RA and REA, which is what the SW EAG is designed to promote.

Employers will receive funding support to implement early adoption of higher retirement/re-employment ages and/or part time re-employment policy for its senior workers.

Companies adopting these policies will be seen as progressive employers and will potentially be able to attract and retain more talents.
