Employment Act Masterclass
The Employment Act is the basic labour law governing employment relations in Singapore. It provides the basic terms and conditions of employment, spelling out the rights and obligations of employers and employees. To a greater extent, this act imposes labour discipline on employees and provides avenues for employers to deny them statutory benefits in the event of breach of discipline.
It is important therefore that, in both unionized and non-unionized environments, HR practitioners, supervisors, line-managers and executives, who have dealings with subordinates, have a good understanding and appreciation of the Employment Act to minimize disputes on employment issues with their staff and their union.
