Tripartite Guidelines On Flexible Work Arrangement Requests

On 4 March 2024 at the Ministry of Manpower Committee of Supply 2024, it was announced that a Tripartite Workgroup was convened in September 2023 to develop a set of Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Work Arrangement Requests and to look at how to support employers in implementing flexible work arrangements across different industries and job roles productively.

Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Work Arrangement Requests ("Guidelines")

While further information on the Guidelines has yet to be provided, it is expected for the Guidelines to set out:

• How employees should request flexible work arrangements; and
• How employers should consider these requests and communicate the outcome of such requests properly.
