Generally, an employer can terminate employment without providing any reasons. The employer will have to provide the requisite notice period to the employee in such situations. The notice period will either be governed by the employment contract or the Employment Act. If the employer does not want the employee to serve the notice period, they can opt to pay the employee salary in lieu of notice.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 97px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 97px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How about terminating an employee who is taking excessive sick leave?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 97px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please see the responses on the general rules on termination. For specific advice, you may wish to seek independent legal advice.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 145px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 145px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How about terminating after an employee\u2019s pregnancy and maternity leave?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 145px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, an employer cannot terminate an employee without sufficient cause during the period of her pregnancy and her maternity leave. Once these periods expire, the usual employment laws governing termination apply. Generally, an employer can terminate an employee at any time without giving any reason.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 217px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 217px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hi, wouldn&#8217;t a fully investigated and proven gross misconduct or unsuccessful PIP justify the termination or dismissal of a pregnant employee?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 217px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is sufficient cause for terminating the employee in question, such as poor performance or gross misconduct, it is possible for an employer to terminate the employee on such grounds. If an employer terminates an employee for poor performance\/gross misconduct during the period of her pregnancy, they may have to prove that the reasons were justified if challenged. It is therefore crucial for the employer to properly document the poor performance, steps taken to notify the employee of her poor performance and conduct relevant due inquiries before terminating the employee.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 121px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 121px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">if we wish to terminate someone hired on a fixed term still exercising the terms as per termination clause on the LOA without providing any reason, is it ok? Can the employee file for wrongful dismissal?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 121px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please see answers above on the general rules on termination.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 121px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 121px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May I know if the employer notices that the employee has come late to work on the day of the company event purposely, is there any advice for this situation?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 121px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are advised to seek independent legal advice.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 193px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 193px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will there be any interview question template that employers can follow, so as to avoid discrimination?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 193px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new legislation has not come into effect yet, but I highly doubt that MOM will publish a standard form questionnaire for general use. It will be difficult to prescribe a list of \u2018approved\u2019 questions because of the variety of industries and the needs and requirements of businesses. However, I would expect MOM to publish guidelines and examples of when questions may give rise to discrimination. You may wish to obtain independent legal advice on your employment practices and interview process to ensure that your processes are in compliance with the new legislation.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 337px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 337px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Could I put \u201cLiving in Singapore\u201d in the copy of the job ad? To exclude any candidate from other countries as we don\u2019t offer expat packages?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 337px;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the recommendations of the Tripartite Committee, \u2018Place of Residence\u2019 is not a protected characteristic. So it is generally permissible to specify that the candidate must reside in Singapore.<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, please note that \u2018place of residence\u2019 cannot be used as a proxy for discriminating against individuals of other nationalities. So if the true intent and purpose of requiring applicants to be residing in Singapore is to exclude applicants of other nationalities, then it may contravene the new legislation. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to be prepared to justify the reasons why that question is relevant. For example, if the role requires the candidate to be physically present at the office, it would be reasonable to include \u201cliving in Singapore\u201d as one of the job requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an employee is pregnant before their 3 months work confirmation, and the employer gives the reason of termination because the employee is not performing well, can the employee report it?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As long as the employee has been employed for at least 3 months, she will be protected from termination for the period of her pregnancy and her maternity leave.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if there is sufficient cause for terminating the employee in question, such as poor performance, it is possible for an employer to terminate the employee on such grounds. If an employer terminates an employee for poor performance during the period of her pregnancy, they may have to prove that the reasons were justified if challenged. It is therefore crucial for the employer to properly document the poor performance, steps taken to notify the employee of her poor performance and conduct relevant due inquiries before terminating the employee.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do we need to compensate employees under WICA if they are still under probation?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WICA covers any local or foreign employee under a contract of service. It would be best to obtain independent legal advice to your specific situation as much can turn on the nature of the contract.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With COMPASS, if the application does not gain enough points for EP due to the company &#8216;failing&#8217; the diversity category, and we reject the employee essentially due to nationality \u2014 does this count as discrimination?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would not. The fact that the application was rejected by MOM would mean that the employer would not be able to proceed with hiring the employee because of a failure to obtain requisite approvals\/passes and not on the basis that the employer has discriminated against the candidate.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can an employer ask a candidate to declare their mental health situation during an interview as a form of showing concern, so that if in future the employee has to take any unpaid leave or a no show due to mental health, at least the employer is aware?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the purpose of asking questions which are \u2018protected characteristics\u2019 is not to discriminate against such individuals but for the purposes of welfare, it may be permissible, but its important to document this and ensure that you are able to justify that this is the true purpose of asking such questions and that you are not in fact making your hiring decisions based on such protected characteristics. One important question to ask is if this is necessary during the hiring process? Or can such questions be asked after employment is confirmed if there is a need to do so for welfare purposes.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the discriminatory aspect, if a staff is known to have a certain sickness after working with a company, if the company doesn&#8217;t want to renew the work pass due to potential liabilities, does that count as discrimination?<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disability is a protected characteristic. Employers can only hire or make other employment decisions based on such protected characteristics if it is a genuine and reasonable job requirement for the employee not to have such a disability.\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"
