Whistle-blowers singled out by bosses should go to MOM, Tafep for help

SINGAPORE - Whistle-blowers who feel victimised, targeted or discriminated against by employers should approach the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) or Singapore's employment watchdog for guidance and assistance, said Senior Minister of State for Manpower Koh Poh Koon on Tuesday (Oct 5). The ministry or the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (Tafep) will then further investigate the allegations and consider enforcement action against the employer. Dr Koh was responding in Parliament to a question from Ms Jessica Tan (East Coast GRC), who had asked what could be done with employers who fail to provide a safe environment for employees to speak up, and what recourse would employees have when faced with retaliation for reporting discrimination. "It is somewhat an unequal relationship," she said. Noting that such cases are rare, Dr Koh also told the House that the law protects employees against dismissal without just cause or excuse, including situations where they are sacked for reporting workplace discrimination. Tripartite guidelines on fair employment practices also require employers to treat all employees based on merit, at all phases of employment, he said...

Mediation a ‘first, necessary’ step to tackle workplace discrimination, even with new laws on horizon: Koh Poh Koon

aseanpr

SINGAPORE - About two-thirds of reported cases of workplace discrimination are not substantiated, and the majority of these are misunderstandings that are subsequently clarified and not pursued further by either party. Senior Minister of State for Manpower Koh Poh Koon revealed this in Parliament on Tuesday (Sept 14) as he noted that the Government would continue to emphasise mediation as a first and necessary step, even as it moves to enshrine fair employment guidelines in law. Dr Koh's reply to MPs came after Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced at the National Day Rally that guidelines under the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (Tafep) would form the basis for anti-discrimination laws, with a tribunal set up to tackle workplace discrimination across gender, age, race, religion and disability. "If there is a complaint, Tafep uses these guidelines to evaluate and advise the parties," said Dr Koh. "Where Tafep finds gaps in the employer's HR (human resources) practices, Tafep would counsel the employer. Most employers accept and make amends." Very rarely does the employer dispute the assessment and refuse to correct its actions, he added. The me...
