Singapore's government has ordered a prominent church to pay compensation to a former employee who was fired for alleged adultery, officials said Tuesday.
The Faith Community Baptist Church has reportedly said it will abide by the order and pay the woman 7,000 Singapore dollars ($5,500) in salary and maternity benefits, but it insisted it was correct to dismiss her.
The woman, who handled administrative responsibilities for the church, filed a complaint to Singapore's Ministry of Manpower after she was fired last September.
The Straits Times newspaper said she had been finalizing her divorce when she was found to be pregnant with the child of another church worker, who has since resigned. She is believed to have refused instructions by church officials to end the relationship if she wanted to keep her job, the newspaper added.
The manpower ministry said Tuesday in an email to the AP that it was "satisfied that she was dismissed without sufficient cause within six months of her delivery date." Full story...
