What is the minimum age for retirment?

I want to find out the minimum age for retirement in Singapore so that I would know if I have been wrongfully dismissed because of my age. Would I still be able to re-employ myself after I reach my age of retirement and would I get re-employment bonuses and benefits from the company or the government?

The Retirement and Re-employment Act states that the minimum retirement age is 62 years so your company can't ask you to retire before 62. You are protected if you are a Singapore citizen or Singapore resident or joined your employer before you turned 55. Employees who turn 62 can still be employed in their company if they meet the criteria for re-employment. Through the Special Employment Credit, employers who voluntarily re-employ workers aged 65 and above will receive an extra offset of up to 3% of an employee’s monthly wages. The SEC enhancement will help employers manage their overall costs and encourage them to voluntarily re-employ employees aged 65 and above.

Should I make a mobile app for my business?

Hi everyone! I came across a new online bank app in Singapore, Lucy, and wanted to share. My friend told me about it when I needed to take out extra money, and was going to reach out to a moneylender. I’ve asked my boss for money a few times already, but felt embarrassed to ask again. All I had to do was friend my boss on Lucy, and I was able to request for a loan from her on the app itself. 1. It let me select my loan amount 2. Allowed me to choose loan for how many months 3. Let me choose how much money to pay back monthhly I could even add a personalized message, which was then sent to my boss. My boss accepted my request, and now the both of us are able to see my loans and when I’m paying back. SO much easier! And now I am not embarrassed anymore :) I take loans when I have to, and also have a way to track when to return it.
