  • employers conducting background checks in the PRC may no longer have to rely on candidates providing the relevant information as criminal record checks are simplified (in theory at least). Click here to see the changes.
  • recent amendments to employment legislation in Singapore arising from the latest Budget Statement. The changes are summarised here.
  • our Compliance Check looks at changes to the BPJS old age benefits scheme in Indonesia.
  • our Asia Comparative Article looks at gig economy workers across the region, comparing the rules in Singapore, Hong Kong, the PRC and Indonesia.
