SINGTEL said on Monday that staff of the telco and its subsidiary,
NCS, can now benefit from up to two weeks of paid paternity leave.
The move to double paternity leave is a response to recent government
calls to introduce additional paternity leave for working fathers of
newborn Singaporean children.
The enhanced paternity leave will take retrospective effect from Jan
1, 2015, and can be taken flexibly within 12 months from the birth of
the staff's child. This government-led initiative is currently voluntary
for employers.
Another government initiative that Singtel fully supports is the call
to raise the re-employment age from 65 to 67. Currently, Singtel has
eight staff who are aged 67 and older in its employ. It also re-employs
70 to 80 per cent of its staff when they turn 62.
