Under the single-stage Demerit Points System (DPS) for the Construction Industry, the number of demerit points awarded depends on the severity of the infringement. An accumulation of a minimum of 25 demerit points would immediately trigger debarment for the contractor. Applications from the company for all types of work passes for foreign employees will be rejected by MOM. The accumulation of more demerit points will result in longer periods of debarment.
Contractors that have been issued with demerit points will be informed by MOM in writing. Each demerit point is valid for 18 months.
