What is the Workplace Fairness Act Singapore?

The Workplace Fairness Act 2025 is Singapore's first legally binding anti-discrimination law for the workplace. Passed through two bills in January and November 2025, it prohibits adverse employment decisions based on 11 protected characteristics — including age, race, nationality, pregnancy, disability, and mental health condition — and mandates formal grievance-handling processes for employers with 25 or more employees. The Act is expected to come into force by end-2027.
