yes, i get it. i will not complain to MOM, i will just finish my contract, and LEARN my lesson. thanks a lot for the advice.sundaymorningstaple wrote:That may well but do you think you spouse will want you to take up free room and board for trying to defraud the MOM?
You seem to forget one big thing. You stand to lose a lot more than the termination fee. You see, MOM knows that employers who are shifty and are shafting the employee in kickback schemes generally overwork the employees as well because they know the employee, if they do go to MOM will end up the bigger losers as they will be banned from Singapore. The employer on the other hand can still hire locals and carry on business as usual. Open your eyes. Where there is smoke there is usually fire.
if you really want to talk to your boss about work hours do not antagonize him...do not bring the legal stuff in because you will make him more defensive..just approach him with a request...just mention something about your health, etc..you need more rest..something creative..look for better timing.crescia wrote:so maybe i will just find time to talk to my employer about the maximum number of work hours stated in the employment act of MOM..

Any terms and conditions of employment, in a contract of service, that is less favourable than the relevant provision under the Employment Act is illegal, null and void. The provision in the Act will take precedence over a particular contractual term that is less favourable.
i can always tell them that i can get out from their company anytime (of course, when i'm ready) because in the contract that i signed with them either I resign or they'll terminate, i will stay pay for the monetary compensation of 5 digits. What i'm trying to say that they can't impose me to pay the monetary compensation if i resign because the contract is null and void due to the number of work hours.
