An Employer’s Responsibilities
To protect the interests of Singapore’s National Servicemen, the Enlistment Act (Chapter 93, Part VI) and its provisions protect any serviceman from being discriminated against, disadvantaged or dismissed by an employer for having to perform NS duties.
Under the Enlistment Act (Chapter 93, Part VI), employers are required to grant a leave of absence to NSmen employees when they are called upon to perform their NS duties.
Employers are encouraged to communicate and work closely with NSmen employees to ensure that their work duties are covered without affecting their NS commitments.
