Employment Law in Singapore - Cases and Materials by Benjamin Yim | 2016*

Employment has long been a significant area of concern in Singapore, even prior to independence, due to its far-reaching effects on society. Since Singapore’s establishment, various pieces of employment legislation have been introduced to address the changing issues and challenges of different periods. These included the arrival of large numbers of immigrants during the 19th century, industrial disputes and unrest during the 1950s, and major economic restructuring in the 1980s.

Employment Law in Singapore – Cases and Materials brings together and examines the development of the legislation governing employment practices in Singapore. These include the Employment Act, Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, Employment Agencies Act, Work Injury Compensation Act, Workplace Safety and Health Act, and Foreign Employee Dormitories Act 2015. Collectively, these laws aim to maintain a careful balance between the often competing interests of key stakeholders, including employees, employers, employment agencies, insurers, and the wider public.

The cases discussed in the book cover a broad range of matters, including employment-related offences, administrative violations, and claims involving work injury compensation. As such, the book provides a valuable reference for legal practitioners and others seeking to understand the regulatory framework and development of employment law in Singapore.
