Feedback from employers and employees
Wong Tze-Yan
Operations Manager · Toa Payoh
"We brought Peranakan Partners in to review our standard employment contract after a change in staff structure. The team was thorough — they caught a number of areas where our existing document did not reflect current MOM requirements. The redrafted version was clear and well-organised, and the process was straightforward."

Priya Rajendran
HR Director · CBD
"The policy development engagement was comprehensive. They identified gaps in our existing documents that we had not noticed — particularly around our hybrid work arrangement policy, which needed to be updated in line with the new Tripartite Guidelines. The HR walkthrough session afterwards was genuinely useful for our team."

"I was dealing with a wrongful dismissal situation and was uncertain about my position. Peranakan Partners gave me a clear assessment of the facts and helped me prepare for the TADM mediation session. They explained what to expect at each stage and were available when I had questions. The matter was resolved at mediation."

Lee Cheng-Hwa
Business Owner · Jurong
"As a small business owner hiring staff for the first time, I was unsure what our contracts needed to cover. The team took the time to understand the roles involved before drafting anything, and the final contracts were clearly written. I feel much more confident about our employment documentation now."

Siti Aminah
Admin Executive · Woodlands
"I had a salary dispute with a former employer and was not sure if I had a case worth pursuing. Peranakan Partners helped me understand what the Employment Act covered and what I was entitled to. They were patient and did not push me in any direction — just laid out my options clearly. That was exactly what I needed."

Krishnamurthy Thiru
Managing Director · Raffles Place
"We used Peranakan Partners for a full policy review before expanding our team. The gap analysis flagged several areas where our documents were outdated, particularly around data handling and the new provisions on flexible work. The policies we received were well-structured and appropriate for our industry. Useful service."

How engagements have played out
Technology startup · Employer
Employment Contract PreparationSituation
A technology startup was bringing on its first three employees and was relying on a standard online template. The founders were uncertain whether it addressed stock option arrangements or appropriate restraint of trade provisions for their sector.
What We Did
We reviewed the existing template, identified clauses that were incomplete or missing, and drafted tailored contracts for each role. We also provided brief written guidance on how the restraint provisions worked and their enforceability under Singapore law.
Outcome
All three employees were onboarded with contracts that reflected their actual roles and the company's specific circumstances. The founders had a clearer understanding of what could and could not be enforced should staff depart early.
Retail employee · Individual
Employment Dispute AdvisorySituation
An employee in a retail role was dismissed following a disciplinary process she felt had not been conducted fairly. She had received two written warnings over a short period and was uncertain whether the process followed the correct procedures.
What We Did
We reviewed the correspondence and internal documents she provided, assessed the factual position, and helped her prepare a clear account of events for the TADM mediation session. We explained what the mediation process involved and attended with her.
Outcome
The matter was resolved at mediation. A settlement was reached that both parties accepted. The client found the preparation session particularly helpful in enabling her to present her account clearly and without becoming flustered during the process.
Healthcare provider · Employer
Workplace Policy DevelopmentSituation
A private healthcare clinic had grown from four to eighteen staff over two years. Their HR documentation had not kept pace, and the HR manager felt exposed on grievance handling and harassment procedures in particular.
What We Did
We conducted a gap analysis of their existing policy documents, then drafted updated grievance handling, anti-harassment, and performance management policies aligned with Tripartite Advisory Letters. We also ran a two-hour walkthrough with the HR manager and clinic director.
Outcome
The clinic now has a complete and current set of HR policies that have since been issued to all staff via a revised employee handbook. The HR manager noted that the walkthrough gave her confidence in explaining the procedures to staff members who raised questions.
