If the employer pays $2400 per month for the place and the employee pays nothing, then the employee must declare $2400 in income, hence $5900 is OK.
Yes, but for MOM's purpose, the basic is MINUS the 2,400, so he will fail in his EP !! That's what I was saying, instead of IRAS ....

However, I also think S$5900 is too low for me. I'm asking for S$7500 but they are not agreeing on my terms. I have 8 years of experience with eye on design, user experience and frontend development. Also I do basic programming in php rails and wordpress.
My duty there will be working with wordpress, html/css, mentor/guide ux designer, collaborate with backend teams and product research with project management.
See how many responsibilities are there for me but they are just paying me S$3500. Please sugges what to do?
Thanks.
And not offending you anymore, but have you been in Singapore ? 3,500 is tough to live as a couple, you can barely make it though.
About your skills, well, trust me .. unless you have some thing more special, there are enough lcoals who can do for the same salary, i.e. 3,500 ! So for 5,900 .. you can find locals with ample experience.
So what other skill sets do you have that makes you valuable enough to demand 7,500 ?
