SINGAPORE - The law that protects workers' rights has undergone a major transformation to include all private sector employees, a move that will entitle them to such rights as paid sick leave, mandatory annual leave of seven to 14 days, and protection against wrongful dismissal. This means the Employment Act (EA) will no longer have a salary cap of $4,500 a month. The move is among four categories of major changes Parliament approved on Tuesday (Nov 20) and will take effect in April next year.
