https://www.mindef.gov.sg/staticfile/safvc/faqs.htmlAs a volunteer, how do I approach my employer to release me for training and deployment?
SAFVC Volunteers will receive a call-up notice, the SAF100V, typically three to six months prior to their call-up. They should show this call-up notice to their employers, who are required to grant them leave of absence to attend their training and deployment.
How much time will the employee be away from work if he/she serves as an SAFVC Volunteer?
In their first year of service, all SAFVC Volunteers will go through Basic Training (BT). BT will be conducted over a continuous period of ten weekdays or over a span of four weeks.
In their second year of service, SAFVC Volunteers will go through Qualification Training and, where applicable, Advanced Training.
An SAFVC Volunteer can be typically called up to serve for 14 days each year upon completion of the training syllabus for their roles.
Does the company still have to contribute to the employee’s CPF during the time he/she is called up?
When the employee is away from work performing SAFVC training, his/her employer is required to continue paying CPF contributions based on his/her civilian remuneration.
Does my employer continue to pay me when I am called up?
Similar to the existing arrangements with NSmen, SAFVC Volunteers who are employed will be eligible to claim Make-Up Pay, which is the difference between his civilian income and SV allowance for the period of In-Camp Training (ICT) call-up.
