Employment Act




The Employment Act applies to all employees regardless of nationality, who is under a contract of service with the employer. The Employment Act is a law passed by the Ministry of Manpower that governs the welfare of the employees. Designated work and rest hours are to be adhered to and other conditions of the service such as the wages of the employees are also covered.

 

Part IV of the Act covering rest days, work hours and conditions of work only applies to

  1. Workmen who are not earning more than S$4,500 basic monthly salaries
  2. Employees earning not more than $2,000 basic monthly salaries

 

There is no distinction between a temporary employee, contract, daily-rated, or employees no tenured employment. Should your employee works less than 35 hours a week, they are covered under the Employment of Part-Time Employees. This provides a degree of flexibility for the employers as well as employees.

 

For more details of the Employment Act, please visit the Ministry of Manpower’s website.
