In addition to 1 & 2 I would also prepare a letter of demand outlining reasonable expenses incurred (accommodation, meals) and present that to MOM for enforcement on the employer as well.BBCWatcher wrote:Briefly, you have two important legal rights in these circumstances:
1. Since your Work Permit was approved, your employer is obliged to pay you at least your fixed monthly salary (as stated in the WP application), pro-rated starting from February 17 through the WP cancellation date even if your employer had no work for you. You took a big risk coming to Singapore without an In Principal Approval (IPA), but in this case you're lucky since you had a WP starting from February 17.
2. Your employer is also obliged to pay for your return ticket home, almost always to the airline served airport nearest your home in your home country or to a mutually agreed alternative airport.
Make sure MoM is aware of your issues and that, working with MoM, you recover at least these two amounts from your employer. (The latter should be in the form of an actual, fully paid ticket home.) Although disappointing, you should be made reasonably financially whole for your troubles.
I'm assuming Work Permit holding here, by the way, not an Employment Pass.
Prepare a formal letter outlining the expenses. Make sure you have original receipts and a copy of each.vijaykrishh wrote:Thank you very much guys for the advice should i need write any formal letter and take it to the mom or else i can explain them everything during my appointment
With reference to "Industry Standards", the 2x 23 kilo policy doesn't apply in intra Asian routes. That's for US/Western Hemisphere fare rule.BBCWatcher wrote: With respect to paid travel home, the employer is required to pay for a check-in luggage allowance, if the airline charges for checked baggage. The Ministry of Manpower isn't specific about how much that allowance should be, but industry standard economy class allowances (up to two pieces, up to 23 Kg each) would be a very reasonable request. Make sure you ask for that if that's what you want/need. Or ask for less if you need less..
you did not prepared for failure situation. In your side, you took risk hoped everything will go fine. I suggest you seek for other opportunities in SG since you have got approval for S PASS once. you can talk to your employer and try to get some compensation like air ticket, housing contract expense, etc.vijaykrishh wrote: And they had some constraint like Passing in Entrance , test , passing in some test which will be conducted after the 1 month training period
