Regulation 3

For the purposes of section 126C(1)(a) of the Act, a request by an employer for an internal reconsideration of a contravention notice must be made within 14 days after the employer receives the contravention notice.

An employer may withdraw a request for an internal reconsideration of a contravention notice at any time before the reviewing authorised officer confirms or cancels the contravention notice under section 126C(3) of the Act.

A request for an internal reconsideration or a withdrawal of the request (as the case may be) must be made in the form and manner specified on the official website of the Ministry of Manpower at http://www.mom.gov.sg.

A request for an internal reconsideration is treated as withdrawn if after the request is made but before the reviewing authorised officer confirms or cancels the contravention notice, an initial authorised officer is served with an originating application concerning an appeal to the General Division of the High Court against the same contravention notice that is the subject of the request.

A reviewing authorised officer may refuse to reconsider a contravention notice if the request for an internal reconsideration is not made in compliance with paragraph (1) or (3).
