Things you didn’t know about working in Singapore

I learnt something new today, so should you!
  • Clauses on signed contracts can be voided and be overwritten by those on the Employment Act

  • You are eligible for OT pay as long as you are paid under $2500 a month, and/or your job scope is not rendered as an executive or managerial position (even if previously signed and agreed upon on your employment contract)

  • Off days upon requests granted on goodwill from the company cannot equate to offs-in-lieu

  • Employers need to have evidence against employees claims. Employees claims are accepted without the need for proof.

  • Evidences of bad attitude at work does not warrant for an immediate termination under wilful insubordination

Enlightening, huh?
