Human nature being what it is, everyone sees and sometimes suffers from less than ideal relationships between employers and employees. Or, sometimes, relationships are fine but the workplace needs to be restructured to respond to changing business conditions. On the other hand, sometimes business conditions lead to the need to hire more foreign employees in Singapore. Sometimes a foreigner offered an employment contract in Singapore wants to know if it is ‘usual’ for Singapore or to understand terms that are different from what they expect to see ‘at home’.
Whether our client is the employee or the employer, we aim to reach an outcome that works for everyone.
We have extensive experience doing so in many different circumstances – there is no ‘one size fits all’. Singapore’s work pass rules can be tricky to navigate in any particular circumstances; on the other hand, Singapore’s employment laws are rather straightforward compared with what might be experienced in other countries.
