Hi, My wife came home yesterday with an Employment Contract from her sister who asked if i can take a look over for her...after she had already signed!!!
The contract is for an office admin role at a dental practice and is for a 2 year period.
There is a termination clause which i find alarming, even by Singaporean standards:
If the services of the employee is terminated by the employee during her first two year term she will be required to pay liquidated damages in the sum of (2) months gross salary.
As if this isnt bad enough, she will be charged 10% P/M for any outstanding balance!
ok, she shouldnt have signed this....is there any default clause that MOM have that would override this.
I can see a issue down the track if a staff member is being treated badly, they will be forced to stay on, or pay damages for leaving...doesnt sound right to me
Any suggestions what she should do?
