This legislation sets out key obligations for employers, covering contracts, salary payments, working hours, leave entitlements, and employee protection.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By complying with these rules, businesses not only avoid penalties but also build a trustworthy and productive work environment. More importantly, when employees feel secure in their rights, they perform better; driving long-term business success. Let\u2019s dive into the essential rules and statutory requirements every employer should know.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\r\n<h3><b>Contracts of service<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers must ensure that every employment contract meets at least the minimum standards set by the Employment Act. It&#8217;s important that employers don\u2019t include terms that are less favorable than what the law stipulates. This guarantees that employees receive the basic protections they deserve.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\r\n<h3><b>Salary payment and deductions<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers must establish a fixed salary period, which should not exceed one month, ensuring timely payments. Salaries need to be paid within seven days after the salary period ends.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deductions can only be made if explicitly authorized by the Act. Unauthorized deductions are prohibited, protecting employees from unfair reductions in their wages.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\r\n<h3><b>Working hours and rest days<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees should not work more than eight hours per day or 44 hours per week to maintain a healthy work-life balance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every employee is entitled to at least one rest day per week, which is typically Sunday, though employers can assign another day if needed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\r\n<h3><b>Leave entitlements<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees are entitled to various types of leave depending on their employment duration and personal circumstances. These entitlements include annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave, and childcare leave, all of which are designed to support employees&#8217; well-being while ensuring compliance with the Act. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For detailed information on leave specifics, businesses should refer to the Act or consult with legal experts.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\r\n<h3><b>Termination of employment<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either the employer or employee can terminate the contract by providing notice. The notice period is based on the length of employment. For instance, employees with less than 26 weeks of service need to provide one day\u2019s notice, while those with more than five years of service must provide at least four weeks\u2019 notice.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\r\n<h3><b>Employee protection and retrenchment<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees cannot be dismissed without just cause. If an employee believes they have been unfairly dismissed, they have the right to file a claim for reinstatement or compensation. In the case of retrenchment or layoffs, employers must adhere to statutory notice periods and severance pay requirements. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While not a legal requirement, offering two weeks to one month of salary per year of service as severance is considered a best practice.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\r\n<h3><b>Employment records<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers in Singapore must maintain accurate records of employee details such as salary, working hours, and leave entitlements.
