Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 4: Eileen Chong on making flexible work arrangements work
The current tripartite guidelines give employees a right to request for flexible work arrangements and a process for consideration, but do not govern outcomes. However, the government should not underestimate what approaching the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices costs an employee relationally, said NCMP Eileen Chong in parliament on Tuesday (Mar 3). She outlined two suggestions in her speech, including making flexible work a presumptive right for parents of children under three, where the nature of the job allows.
