Absentee Payroll (AP) funding is a grant to help employers defray the manpower costs incurred when they send their employees for SSG-approved courses during working hours.
For training conducted outside working hours, the grant is meant to alleviate the opportunity costs incurred by the employees. Hence, the funding is to be paid to the employees together with the mandatory top-up by the employer.
