If you are an EP you will not be able to act as manager for the sole proprietorship as your EP specifically excludes you from holding employment other than for which the EP was issued.disconnect wrote:EP
I suggest that you are in violation of the law and have put your EP at risk. You cannot do this. Refer to this document: http://www.mom.gov.sg/~/media/mom/docum ... itions.pdf, which is the detail about work pass regulations (your employment pass is a work pass as defined in the regulations on page 2).disconnect wrote:Thank you for the response Strong Eagle.
I didn't make it clear initially, but he has already appointed me as a manager of his company and I had to endorse it via bizfile.org.sg. It is done. Apparently, it is possible to be appointed manager while being only on EP.

I don't get the charity part. I volunteered for years with the American Association. I attended multiple meetings per month. I ran Music in the Park for three years in a row. There was never an issue as this is not running a business, it was volunteer activities for a registered organization.martincymru wrote:I am also on an EP.

work for a charity on a Saturday.
Both for no benefit/compensation/money at all.
Cannot.
Martin, I will have to look into it and will get back to you but I am pretty sure that as long as you are working in an unpaid position, ie, a volunteer, in a ROSES organization, you won't be running afoul of any work pass regulations. A paid position is, of course, different. I'll be back when I am more qualified to reply.martincymru wrote:Strong Eagle: I said "work" [full time], albeit not paid. They are registered with ROSES.
On that basis is your position on this issue the same?
Furthermore, what type of "pass" needed if you are a volunteer (not paid at all)? I wish to assist full time a charity, semi-retire so to speak.
