SINGAPORE - In a move to guard against unacceptable work practices, two private security agencies have been hauled up over staff working between 17 and 20 hours a day. Erawan Security Services and Volantra Security were each charged on Thursday (Oct 14) under the Employment Act with making their officers work more than 12 hours a day on multiple days between February and March. Erawan faces two charges and Volantra faces three. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) inspected about 200 private security agencies from April to August, checking for compliance with working hours and overtime limits. It found that about a third of the agencies had breaches. While most of these were minor, the ministry said it would be taking action against 15 of them for exceeding the working hour limits.

It added that stakeholders have been working to improve the wages and well-being of some 50,000 security officers since the formation of the Security Tripartite Cluster in 2013.
