FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I have just been dismissed, how do I know it’s unfair and what should I do?
Unfair dismissal usually involves being dismissed, due to discrimination or without fair
reasons. We can help to assess your situation and determine if you have been unfairly
terminated.
I have been retrenched, what are my benefits?
Your company must give you a fair retrenchment package. It can include severance pay, ex-
gratia payment, payment-in-lieu of notice and other benefits. We can guide you on the next
steps to secure your entitlements.
I am facing workplace harassment, but my company is just dismissing it, what can I do?
Workplace harassment includes verbal abuse, discrimination and more. You are protected by
law. Singapore has introduced the Workplace Fairness Act to strengthen protection against
workplace discrimination. Our lawyers can help you file a complaint and take legal action
against your workplace.
Is it possible to settle the matter without it affecting my career?
Yes it is possible. Many employment disputes can often be resolved confidentially with
agreed clauses. We ensure terms are properly negotiated and help you secure what you
deserve without harming your career.
