Let your conscience be your guide. I used to be an HR & Finance Mgr for a local mid-sized SME here up till I retired at 71+ in 2019. I have always instructed my HR Exec to do a monthly check of foreign EP & S pass holders starting 3 months before the expiration date of the work pass (pre-Covid). If we found one, we wouldn't do anything as help is hard to find, but we would see if we could find out or figure out where the problem was, if any. If they are going to leave, they are going to leave and they'll be no stopping them. In a tight market, if we find out, only a stupid employer would find a reason to terminate. Help is hard to find. Depending on the employee, we might make an effort to meet him half way if he is worth it. Otherwise, we start looking for a replacement so when he makes a move by hopefully giving notice, we will not be caught off guard but will be one step ahead. Oh, and in a troubling market? The employee has already let us know by pending applications (we cannot see the applying company) who is considering leaving so if we need to trim staff, we already know who is looking to go. If more companies HR Managers were that proactive it would stop the two year jump as we call it. Sadly, lots of HR departments are at the whim of MDs who have chips on their shoulders. Maybe I was lucky as my MD and I got along famously.
