The Employment Contract
Singapore does not require specific elements to define an employment contract. However, the nature of the relationship between the parties is crucial in determining whether it’s an employment contract or a contract for services.
Duties of Parties
An employment contract in Singapore is more than just an agreement for wages in exchange for work. Both the employer and employee have mutual obligations to foster a productive and harmonious work environment.
Taxation in Singapore
Singapore operates a progressive income tax system. This means that higher incomes are taxed at higher rates. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) is responsible for income tax administration.
Termination of employment
Unlike many other countries, Singapore does not operate on a principle of “employment at will,” where either party can terminate a contract without reason or notice. Instead, there are specific rules governing the termination of employment contracts.
