BSSW: Retirement and Re-Employment Act

About this event

SNEF Corporate Learning Centre presents:

This half-day workshop covers the legal do’s and don’ts of managing the re-employment of eligible local employees who are willing and able to continue working. Needless to say, it is unlawful to dismiss an employee on the grounds of age, and the burden of proof lies with the employer in the event of a dispute.

The workshop will focus on the correct understanding and application of the Retirement and Re-employment Age Act (RRA) and its supplementary Tripartite Guidelines on the Re-employment of Older Employees, both updated on 1 July 2026.

Discussions will guide participants through compliance requirements, good practices, and areas where misunderstanding commonly arise. HR and People Managers who make staffing and deployment decisions are strongly encouraged to attend.
