temporary employment pass

[advice needed]

Is there any thing as a temporary employment pass that is given till the EP is granted.My husband's employers have said that they will give him a temporary employment pass so that he can start working if the EP takes time.
thanks for all your help

[Nope]

Normally you have to wait to get your EP before you can start working. That is the rule.
If processing takes time, give them a call (or better go to MOM) and try to find out why. I did it for myself, 3 days later I got it. There are some human beings working for the system...

Yes there is. My EP aplication didn't end up going in until the week before I was due to fly out here so they took away my passport when I arrived and later that day it appeared with a 30 day temporary permit...

Haven't a clue about the mecahnics of getting one though..
