Public Consultation on Workplace Fairness Act Second Bill

1. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) invites members of the public to provide feedback on the proposed approach to resolving workplace fairness disputes and procedures for making workplace fairness claims under the Workplace Fairness Act (WFA) Second Bill. The consultation will run from 26 August to 19 September 2025.

 

2. The WFA First Bill was passed in January 2025 to strengthen protections for workers against workplace discrimination, while also preserving workplace harmony and giving employers flexibility to meet genuine business needs. As announced in the Parliament, legislation will be introduced to set out the procedural rights and processes for individuals to make private claims under the WFA. MOM is therefore seeking public views on:

 

  1. The approach for amicable and expeditious resolution of workplace fairness disputes;
  2. The judicial forum to hear workplace fairness claims; and
  3. The representation of parties by unions for workplace fairness claims.

 

3. The public consultation document is published on REACH’s website at https://go.gov.sg/wfa-public-consult. Members of the public can submit feedback via the online form by 19 September 2025, 5.00PM.
