Our Services
Three Services, One Employment Law Focus
Each service at Tembusu Law is designed to address a specific point in the employment relationship where proper legal attention makes a practical difference — to the documentation you hold, the policies you operate under, or the dispute you are navigating.

How We Approach Each Engagement
Employment law advice is most useful when it is specific to your situation — your business type, your workforce composition, the particular clause that concerns you, or the dispute that has arisen. We resist the templated approach.
Each engagement begins with a thorough briefing, because the quality of the advice depends on how well we understand the starting position. We then carry out the work, communicate clearly at each material stage, and deliver output accompanied by a written summary of key points and any decisions or next steps that require your attention.
We check our work against the current Employment Act and relevant MOM guidelines before it goes to you. If anything significant has changed since we last worked on a similar matter — and in employment law, things do change — we factor that in without needing to be prompted.

Service 01
Employment Contract Drafting & Review
Well-structured employment agreements that hold up to scrutiny are the foundation of a properly managed workforce. This service covers drafting of key contractual terms — remuneration, notice periods, non-compete and confidentiality clauses, and intellectual property assignment provisions — as well as thorough review of existing agreements with specific commentary on areas requiring attention or revision.
Appropriate for companies of all sizes, from early-stage businesses engaging their first employees to established firms whose legacy contracts predate significant Employment Act amendments.
Drafting and review of all key employment terms against Employment Act requirements
Assessment of non-compete and confidentiality provisions for enforceability under Singapore law
Written commentary identifying issues and recommending specific changes
Redrafting of flagged provisions where requested
Final deliverable is an editable document with summary of key changes and recommendations
How It Works
Initial briefing — you share the contract and your priorities or concerns
Review and drafting — we assess and revise against Employment Act and MOM guidelines
Written commentary — you receive marked changes with explanatory notes
Clarification — we address any questions before you finalise the document

Service 02
Workplace Policy & Handbook Development
An employee handbook serves a practical function: it tells your workforce what the rules are, what they are entitled to, and how certain processes work. When it is properly written — reflecting actual regulatory requirements and the genuine practices of the organisation — it also reduces the scope for misunderstanding and dispute.
This collaborative engagement produces or revises a handbook covering leave entitlements, grievance and disciplinary procedures, flexible work arrangement policies aligned with the Tripartite Guidelines, anti-harassment frameworks, and data protection obligations under the PDPA as they apply to employee records.
Full coverage of statutory leave entitlements and employer obligations
Grievance and disciplinary procedures that meet Employment Act requirements
Flexible work arrangement policies aligned with current Tripartite Guidelines
Anti-harassment framework meeting TAFEP guidance
PDPA obligations for employee personal data integrated throughout
How It Works
Scoping call — we understand your organisation, workforce type, and existing practices
Draft development — we produce a complete draft within approximately two weeks
Review session — you review and we discuss any sections requiring adjustment
Final delivery — you receive a complete, distribution-ready document

Service 03
Employment Dispute Advisory & Mediation Support
When a workplace situation becomes contentious, the way it is handled — at every stage — affects both the legal outcome and the working relationship. This service provides guidance through that process: understanding the legal position, preparing for mediation, and presenting your case in the best available way at TADM or the Employment Claims Tribunals.
The approach is measured. We look for the resolution pathway most likely to be effective given the specific circumstances — which sometimes means formal proceedings, but often means a negotiated outcome reached through TADM mediation before things escalate.
Pre-dispute assessment of the legal merits and available options
Preparation of position statements for TADM mediation
Advisory support throughout TADM proceedings, including mediation attendance
Continued support if the matter proceeds to the Employment Claims Tribunals
Suitable for both employers and employees
How It Works
Initial assessment — we review the facts and advise on the realistic range of outcomes
Strategy discussion — we recommend the most appropriate resolution pathway
Preparation — we draft position statements and prepare you for the mediation process
Representation or support — we attend TADM proceedings or advise throughout
