You might have heard this saying: “If HR does not get its house in order, it has no time nor the creditability to talk about people strategy”. This means that HR professionals need to ensure the basic HR structure and processes are put in place, and the fundamental basics adhere to employment regulations. Newly appointed HR Managers and HR Executives need to possess an acceptable level of awareness of the Singapore’s Employment Act, its basic principles and core framework, and how these are applied in people-management such as drafting of employment contract, designing HR policies and procedures, determining terms and conditions as well as computation of salaries and benefits.

With a higher level of education, our employees are clearly aware of their employment rights and contractual terms especially with the ease of access to information. It is thus important that new HR professionals are several steps ahead on matters related to the Employment Act and related laws. HR professionals can also help protect organisations from risks of non-compliance.

After the workshop, you will be able to:
- Describe essential terms and conditions that ensure existing practices comply with regulations
- Draft effective employment contracts that meet statutory and business operations requirements
- Handle dismissals effectively with reference to fair employment practices
