Recruitment Agency's Letter of Intent

[Jeanica]

Hi there, I have a question for people who are familiar with how the recruitment agencies earn their commission after 3 months. My letter of intent with this agency states I cannot resign or leave employment for any reason within 3 months.

My separate employment contract with my current Company N states that I have to provide a 2 month notice before probation and 3 months after. I have finished 1 month here. In the event that I resign after finishing 2 months and serve the 2 month notice, I would have been with Company N for at least 4 months right? In this case, will the agency still be able to get their commission after my 3 months or will they not get it because I resigned after only 2 months?

Do they really only get their commission if I finish a whole 3 months without resigning?

I wish I could help but honestly what kind of trash company / industry do you work in where you're worried about your recruiter getting his / her commission rather than you getting paid fairly, having a offer in land before you quit your current job and making sure you're not unemployed for a long period of time lol

like wtf... also 2 months notice? what?? highest i heard was 1 month, standard is 2 weeks.

Usually during probation, the notice period will be short like 2 weeks. Else , those without probation period, will have 1 month notice usually. I did heard of 2 months.

Anyways, just serve the minimum 3 months lor. or go till 6 months then jump company

probation has no notice period

that makes no sense. probation definition is that you can get let go at any time for underperforming with no payment in lieu or notice.

if u need to give notice DURING your probation then wtf is the point of probation?

almost all US companies have min 3 month probation to help employees see whether they like the job or not and for employers to see if the employee is useful or useless.

TS u must work for some dog trash company. run.

Wtf 2-3 months? U foreigner ah?
