Is your company ready for workplace fairness legislation?

TRIPARTISM is the bedrock of Singapore’s harmonious labour relations, promoting practices that enable a fair, responsible and progressive workplace culture. Yet every instance of workplace discrimination shows that we can do better. The proposed workplace fairness legislation (WFL) sends a strong signal that workplace discrimination will not be tolerated.

The Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) supports the proposals, which are expected to be passed into law by 2024. As a member of the Tripartite Committee on Workplace Fairness, SNEF has provided employers’ perspectives, ensuring the recommendations are practical and balanced.

The WFL balances flexibility for employers with proportional redress for workplace discrimination, without creating a litigious workplace culture.
