i arrived in singapore 3 weeks ago after being successful in getting a GM job here.
since i have been here all my MD has had me doing is cold call sales and building a network.
we have come to a head over this and i have an e mail regarding termination. this i do not care about, but after only 3 weeks do i have any rights against my apartment etc.
will he have to compensate me or my flight home. my contract has one eitherway which i believe is standard, but i have a $4,000 deposit and an early termination clause of an extra $3,000.
can some one help me here, please.
I don't believe the company can just terminate your contract, you obviously need to go and speak with MOM about this, and don't leave it to late, and/or find a new employer if you are unhappy. You have rights so go and find out about them, they are very good to talk too.
I guess you are feeling hoodwinked in accordance, with the job advertised, this happens, so don't be afraid to act, if they are in the wrong, they may have to pay you compensation and a fine, how much all depends on the contract and what it involves.
Your accommodation may not be covered by the employment act, so you will may have to seek any losses, through the small claims court, but MOM will explain everything about your rights, and they will help you out.
