This is my second topic and I trust that I will also receive good response on my new topic too as on my last topic..
My question is that while filling the application form for Employment Pass there is a section about past employment salary. Why does MOM require this information?
I look forward for your feed back
They have vetting teams in many countries who either work for MOM or are contracted to MOM to check out academic qualifications and if necessary, employment background checks. They don't want people who "elevate" their salaries in order to gain "benefits" e.g., a higher level pass. It can also be used to trip up an applicant. As this is Asia, they can ask anything they want, if you don't answer it, well, it let's them know that you would like to have the job, but aren't willing to follow directions in order to get it.
If you have been to the MOM website, you will notice all passes are centric around either academics, income levels or both. This isn't the west were all things seem to be sacrosanct. As also pointed out, Singapore is statistic crazy as well. Surveys have to be filled out all the bloody time and employers can be fined for not filing them.
