SINGAPORE: Five employers have been barred from hiring foreign employees and renewing the work passes of existing foreign employees for 12 months after they were found to have practised “age-related discriminatory hiring”.
MOM found that the employer was looking for younger candidates as they wanted “energetic” teachers who could engage with the students. The manpower authority later assessed that the education centre had failed to adopt fair hiring practices. MOM said however, it was discriminatory for the employer to assess the candidates’ suitability based on age.
“While the discriminatory phrases may have been included out of concern for safety, the employer should have focused on the job requirements and the physical intensity of the HAZMAT course, instead of indicating arbitrary age requirements,” MOM countered.
