The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) and Ministry of Manpower (MOM) released their guidelines for leave benefits and contract renewal, for term contract employees in Singapore.
Term contract employees are people who have fixed-term employment contracts, that will end on the date specified in the contract, unless the employment contract is renewed.
Out of the resident work population, 11.3% are contract employees.
Under the guidelines, term contract employees:
- Must receive advance and sufficient notice if their employment contract will not be renewed.
- Are entitled to leave benefits if they are employed with the same company for more than 3 months.
- Could be eligible for prorated sick leave, child care leave and annual leave, depending on the duration of the contract.
