Asia Employment, Pensions and Incentives Update November 2019

This month's update looks at:

• the rise of "patahara" (paternity related harassment) in Japan, in particular the most recent legal challenge considering this issue;
• in Singapore, the Government's upcoming plans to increase the retirement age and re-employment age and what employers need to do to prepare;
• the Indonesian government's proposal to reform the existing labour legislation and the impact of the proposed changes;
• our Compliance Check on employer obligations in relation to workplace sexual harassment in China;
• a comparison of laws relating to working hours and overtime in Singapore, Japan and Thailand.

Finally, a reminder to readers in Jakarta - we will be holding an event to support the launch of our Asia Employment Law Guide on 13 November. If you would like to attend, please contact Chrysti Claudia Luckynelly at [email protected].

For readers based in Singapore - we are holding a breakfast seminar discussing the enforceability of restraint of trade and non solicitation clauses across the region on 19 November. If you would like to attend, please RSVP.
