The GHO also provides that save for banks, schools, public and government offices, these general holidays do not need to be observed, although many employers do grant their employees a leave day then more than a million workers go without and have to work on those general holidays which are not also statutory holidays.
Employers need to be careful to ensure that they comply with their new obligations in-particular employment documentation should be reviewed and updated.
Singapore has currently no anti-discrimination legislation or laws that employers have to comply with. On 29 August , Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced that Singapore will enshrine into law the current workplace anti-discrimination guidelines. The TAFEP Guidelines seek to encourage employers to implement fair employment practices based on the following 5 principles 1 :.
While there has yet to be any proposed legislation, it is expected that the new regime for resolving disputes regarding workplace discrimination will be similar to the regime in Singapore concerning disputes over salaries or wrongful dismissal 2. Such a regime will require employers and employees to seek to resolve the disputes via mediation before the matter can be heard by a tribunal. According to Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, a tribunal will be created to deal with workplace discrimination 3.
In the meantime, employers should start preparing themselves for the proposed legislation and look at their workplace discrimination policies to see if what they have in place accords with the principles in the TAFEP Guidelines.

Twitter Linkedin. Sexual harassment consultation The Government has published its response to the consultation on sexual harassment in the workplace. What does this mean for employers? Case law has set additional obligations to ensure control of workload. In case of litigation generally after termination of the employment contract sanctions can be as follows: Payment of overtime i.
However, any period of Secondment that immediately precedes the individual becoming an Employee under an Employment Contract with the same Employer no longer counts towards their period of continuous service for the purpose of calculating entitlements to end of service gratuity " Gratuity " or contributions into an employee workplace savings scheme " Core Benefits ".
Where FTCs are for 6 months or less, the maximum probationary period cannot exceed half the length of the fixed-term. Unlawful deductions from Wages: New provisions have been introduced which largely mirror the position under English law. For example, there will be no duty to provide and maintain adequate and safe access to and from the home-workplace, nor to ensure that there is adequate ventilation, lighting or workstations.
Employee workplace savings scheme: The most substantial amendments relate to the employee workplace savings regime, which replaced the traditional Gratuity regime with effect from 1 February Mandatory Provident Fund "MPF" offsetting Currently in Hong Kong employers can offset amounts of severance and long service payments paid to employees under the Employment Ordinance " EO " from the accrued benefits derived from the employers' contributions made into the MPF schemes. In summary, the bill will: Abolish all offsetting of severance and long service payments with effect from the law's commencement date i.
Prior to that date offsetting may continue; Provide for a governmental two-tiered subsidy scheme assisting employers' to meet expenses of paying severance and long service payments in full. This is important, after all when redundancies are happening an employer may be unable at that time to afford the cost of these payments. Semmler, A.
