新加坡人力部长陈诗龙在国会书面答复阿裕尼集选区议员严燕松有关WP和SP准证持有人被不当终止工作的问题。
以下内容为新加坡眼根据国会英文资料翻译整理：
严燕松（阿裕尼集选区议员） 先生问人力部长：
(a) 过去 10 年中，WP或SP准证持有人提起了多少起不当解雇案件?
(b) 有多少此类案件中工人的上诉成功?
(c) 对于成功的案件，为工人提供了哪些补救措施?
(d) 是否大多数此类工人被允许继续在新加坡工作?
陈诗龙（人力部长）医生：多年来，人力部对其争议解决和索赔管理流程进行了改进。在2019年之前，不当解雇索赔无需经过强制调解，我们也没有全面跟踪工作证类型和索赔结果。从2019年起，所有不当解雇索赔必须首先经过争议管理三方联盟的调解。只有在调解不成功的情况下，索赔才会被提交至雇佣纠纷索偿庭（ECT）进行裁决。
从2019年到2023年，WP和SP 准证持有者提出了约400起不当解雇索赔（即每年约 80 起）。其中，约50%最终被工人撤回，40% 通过调解成功解决，10% 在雇佣纠纷索偿庭（ECT）上得到裁决。在裁决的案件中，约30%的裁决对工人有利。在此过程中，工人的追索权可以包括金钱补偿、将员工的解雇转为辞职或雇主向员工提供服务证明。
我们没有追踪在提出不当解雇索赔后找到另一份工作的工人人数。
以下是英文质询内容：
WRONGFUL TERMINATION OF WORK PERMIT OR S PASS HOLDERS
35 Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Minister for Manpower (a) how many wrongful termination cases have been filed by work permit or S Pass holders in the last 10 years; (b) in how many of such cases were the workers successful in their appeals; (c) for successful cases, what redress has been offered to the workers; and (d) whether the majority of such workers have been allowed to continue working in Singapore.
Dr Tan See Leng: The Ministry, has over the years, made enhancements to its dispute resolution and claims management process. Prior to 2019, wrongful dismissal claims did not have to go through mandatory mediation, and we did not comprehensively track work pass types nor claim outcomes. From 2019, all wrongful dismissal claims must first go through mediation at the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management. Claims can be referred to the Employment Claims Tribunals (ECT) for adjudication only if mediation is unsuccessful.
From 2019 to 2023, there were about 400 wrongful dismissal claims (or about 80 a year) filed by work permit and S pass holders. About 50% were eventually withdrawn by the worker, 40% were successfully resolved by mediation, and 10% were adjudicated at the ECT. Of the adjudicated cases, about 30% were ruled in favour of the worker. Recourse for the worker throughout this process can include monetary compensation, converting the employee’s dismissal into a resignation, or the employer providing the employee with a service testimonial.
We do not track the number of workers who found another job after filing a wrongful dismissal claim.
