HR Glossary
What is Employment Act (Singapore)?
Singapore's primary employment legislation that sets out basic terms and conditions of employment, including salary payment, working hours, overtime, rest days, annual leave, sick leave, and termination protections for all employees except domestic workers, seafarers, and statutory board employees.
Why it matters in hiring
Employment Act (Singapore) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
