Document background
The Local Employment Contract serves as the primary legal document establishing an employment relationship in Singapore. It is essential for any hiring within Singapore's jurisdiction, whether for permanent or fixed-term positions. The contract must comply with Singapore's Employment Act and related legislation, including provisions for CPF contributions, statutory leaves, and working hours. This document typically includes detailed terms of employment, responsibilities, compensation structure, and termination provisions, while incorporating specific requirements for different employment types and seniority levels. It's designed to protect both employer and employee interests while ensuring alignment with Singapore's employment laws and regulations.
