For unvaccinated employees in Singapore whose work cannot be performed from home, employers can opt to terminate their employment as a last resort from next year.

Office workers wearing protective face masks during the coronavirus disease outbreak in the central business district in Singapore on 11 January, 2021.

"If termination of employment is due to employees’ inability to be at the workplace to perform their contracted work, such termination of employment would not be considered as wrongful dismissal," the ministry said.that from 1 January next year, only employees who are fully vaccinated or have recovered from COVID-19 within the past 270 days, can return to the workplace.

Employers can also consider redeploying these employees to suitable jobs which can be done from home, with remuneration commensurate with the new responsibilities, or place them on no-pay leave. Such working arrangements "remain the employers’ prerogative". Similarly for such employees, employers can redeploy them to suitable work-from-home jobs, or exempt them from pre-event testing requirements when they are required to work onsite.
