Since the last major amendment to the Employment Act (EA) in 1995, the labour market has changed significantly, with shifts in the workforce profile, and the emergence of new trends such as outsourcing and the shortening of employment tenures. The EA now has now been brought up-to-date and the objective is to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness in maintaining Singapore's labour market flexibility and competitiveness. The proposed amendments to the EA took effect on 1 Jan 2009.

All members are encouraged to attend this workshop to acquire a good understanding of the various provisions of the Employment Act.
