Work contract, termination notice and non-compete

A contract of service, commonly known as an employment contract, governs the relationship between the employer and employee and sets out the terms and conditions of the employment. An employment contract governed under Singapore law is required to set out the Key Employment Terms (KETs) such as job title, main duties and responsibilities, probation period, leave and notice period, among other terms.

It is also common practice for many businesses to put in place an employee handbook that comprehensively outlines company policies and procedures, rights and responsibilities, code of conduct, compensation, benefits, termination procedures and grievance mechanisms.
