It provides a comprehensive overview of the important terms and conditions that apply to the majority of workers. Singapore’s employment laws are known for their flexibility, making the country an attractive destination for international talent and investment. Nevertheless, employees have experienced significant improvements in recent years, as they now have access to enhanced benefits such as maternity, paternity, adoption, and shared parental leave.
