For foreigners, the rate was 2.53 per 1,000 employees in 2022, up from 2.1 in 2021.
Similarly, wrongful dismissal claims were lodged in 2022 by 0.26 per 1,000 employees, down from 0.29 in 2019.The remaining 14% were referred to the Employment Claims Tribunals for adjudication. Another 4% recovered only part of their salaries through settlement payments from security bond insurers or financial assistance for lower-wage workers under the Short-Term Relief Fund or Migrant Workers’ Assistance Fund.
