Guiding Principles for Fair Employment Practices
The five guiding principles of fair employment practices as stated in the 
Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices are:
- Recruit and select employees on the basis of merit (such as skills, experience or ability to perform the job), and regardless of age, race, gender, religion, family status or disability.
- Treat employees fairly and with respect and implement progressive human resource management systems.
- Provide employees with equal opportunity to be considered for training and development based on their strengths and needs, to help them achieve their full potential.
- Reward employees fairly based on their ability, performance, contribution and experience.
- Abide by labour laws and adopt Tripartite Guidelines which promote fair employment practices.
Employers can refer to the guidelines to better understand and abide by the principles of fair employment to adopt the recommended good practices. If services of employment agencies or labour suppliers are used to fill job vacancies, end-user companies should also encourage agencies and suppliers to adopt these guidelines.
