===================

Who is covered under Part IV
Part IV of the Employment Act, which provides for rest days, hours of work and other conditions of service, only applies to:

A workman (doing manual labour) earning a monthly basic salary of not more than $4,500.
An employee who is not a workman, but who is covered by the Employment Act and earns a monthly basic salary of not more than $2,600.

please elaborate

wa smelly exception sia

The MOM website even specifically list “Chartered Accountant” as an exception to the people covered by the Act. If you didn’t know this, you’re probably quite young huh.

Who is a manager or executive

In general, managers and executives are employees with executive and supervisory functions.

Their duties and authority may include one or all of the following:

Making decisions on issues such as recruitment, discipline, termination of employment, performance assessment and reward.
Formulating strategies and policies of the enterprise.
Managing and running the business.
They also include professionals with tertiary education and specialised knowledge or skills whose employment terms are like those of managers or executives. For example:

Advocates and solicitors
Chartered accountants
Practising doctors and dentists

*Part IV of the Employment Act,

We are still covered by the other parts.

so cannot really compare cos their spending power is higher than most of us.

MOM shud have stricter control over msians working in sg.
it kind of ruined the labor market for locals.
