TAFEP Fair Consideration Framework: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the Fair Consideration Framework helps Singaporean employers follow fair hiring guidelines and avoid discrimination during recruitment.
The Fair Consideration Framework is a set of guidelines designed to ensure that employers in Singapore practice fair hiring and avoid discrimination when recruiting new staff.
Who it's for
This framework applies to all employers hiring workers within Singapore.
What you get
You receive clear guidelines to help your business maintain fair hiring practices. These guidelines are intended to ensure that your recruitment processes are inclusive and that you avoid discriminatory practices when looking for new employees. By following these standards, businesses can help ensure that hiring is based on merit and fairness.
What it costs you
There is no direct monetary fee for accessing these guidelines. However, it does require an investment of time. You will need to dedicate time to documenting your various hiring processes to ensure you have sufficient audit trails to prove your practices are fair.
The catch to know
The most significant risk involves the specific requirements regarding job postings on the official career portal. If you do not meet the required posting duration on the designated platform, your application for a work pass may be rejected. It is vital to ensure your job advertisements remain active on the required portal for the full necessary period to avoid this consequence.
How to apply
- Review the guidelines provided by the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices.
- Update your internal recruitment and hiring workflows to align with these standards.
- Ensure all job advertisements are posted on the required career portal for the necessary amount of time.
- Maintain thorough documentation of your entire recruitment process for audit purposes.
