A NEW Bill seeks to protect workers involved in accidents unrelated to their jobs and which happen outside their working hours.
Human Resources Minister Steven Sim (pic), who tabled the Employees’ Social Security (Amendment) Bill 2025 for the first reading, said the proposed amendment to the Employees’ Social Security Act 1969 seeks to introduce a new social security scheme, namely Non-Employment Accident Injury Scheme, which extends social security protection to employees from accidents which occur outside working hours and not related to their employment.
