What is Singapore's Workplace Fairness Act and when does it take effect?

Answer
The Workplace Fairness Act is Singapore's first statutory anti-discrimination law, covering five protected characteristics: age, sex, marital status, caregiving status, and nationality. It was passed in two parts in January and November 2025, and is expected to come into full force around end-2027. Q4 2026 is the last full preparation year for employers with 25 or more staff to audit hiring practices, build written grievance procedures, and train managers.
