Details

"Since the previous edition of this book, there were a slew of changes to labour legislation and policies in Singapore. In particular, we saw the milestone Employment Act 2013 amendments which expanded the scope of coverage of the Act to PMEs. The Personal Data Protection Act and the Progressive Wage Model through the Environmental Public Health Act were also introduced and passed as law.

.... It is therefore with great delight and appreciation that Ravi has updated the law and policies in this fourth edition. I applaud his untiring efforts in bringing this comprehensive and well-researched piece to fruition. This book is a key employment law academic research piece in Singapore and serves not just legal practitioners, academics and students but equip human resource and industrial relations practitioners with the necessary knowledge in this growing area of law."
Foreword by Patrick Tay Teck Guan, Assistant Secretary-General, NTUC
