As an employer, it is important to exercise fair, non-discriminatory practices when hiring people.
Equality In The Singapore Constitution
- The Singapore Constitution states that all persons are equal before the law and are entitled to equal protection under the law.
- In line with this principle of equality, employers should select the best candidate for the job, regardless of the candidate's race, religion, marital status, age or gender.
Non-Discriminatory Job Advertisements
- When drafting job advertisements, the criteria should focus on job scope, qualifications, skills or knowledge, experience and character traits.
- The following attributes are not allowed to be listed as requirements:
- Age
If the work is physically demanding, this should be stated as a physical attribute rather than an age criterion.
- Gender
If the job requires a specific gender for special purposes, the purpose should be stated instead of the gender.
- Marital Status
Unacceptable as a job criterion.
- Race
Unacceptable as a job criterion.
- Religion
Unacceptable as a job criterion unless the employee has to perform religious functions as part of the job scope.
