Platform Workers (Administrative Penalties) Regulations 2024

For the purposes of section 78(1)(a) of the Act, a request by a person or platform operator for an internal reconsideration of a contravention notice must be made within 14 days after the person or platform operator (as the case may be) receives the contravention notice.

A person or platform operator may withdraw a request for an internal reconsideration of a contravention notice at any time before a reviewing authorised officer confirms or cancels the contravention notice under section 78(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 website of the Ministry of Manpower at https://www.mom.gov.sg.

A request for an internal reconsideration is treated as withdrawn if, after the request is made but before a reviewing authorised officer confirms or cancels the contravention notice, an initial authorised officer is served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.

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

For the purposes of section 78(1)(b) of the Act, an appeal by a person or platform operator to the General Division of the High Court against a contravention notice must be made within 14 days after the person or platform operator (as the case may be) receives the contravention notice.

For the purposes of section 78(4) of the Act, an appeal by a person or platform operator to the General Division of the High Court against a reviewing authorised officer’s decision under section 78(3)(a) of the Act must be made within 14 days after the person or platform operator (as the case may be) receives the reviewing authorised officer’s decision.
