The government said yesterday that 143 employers in the city have joined its non-mandatory central provident fund system.
Ieong Un Lai, who heads the Central Provident Fund System Department of the Social Security Fund (FSS), revealed the figure while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a session which briefed casino workers about the city’s non-mandatory central provident fund system. The session organised by the Macau Gaming Employees Home union took place at the Vocational Skills Training Centre run by the Macau Federation of Trade Unions (commonly known as Gung Luen) near the Barrier Gate border checkpoint.
The city’s non-mandatory central provident fund was implemented on January 1 last year. The legislature passed the government-initiated bill on the non-mandatory central provident fund in May 2017.
