letter of appointment.
Is it legal for a clause to pay 3 months to the coy if the person left the company before 3 years? If contract has been signed.

i'm sure there are other legal recourse but may not be worth the time, $$ and effort to fight it. the best solution is to negotiate with your boss/HR/legal to come to an amicable compromise. |
The term is very weird. It puts 2 week notice during probation and 3 months notice after probation.
Den last page put payback 3 months salary if contract is terminated before 3 years. ( I nv notice this clause) Does it mean if I quit after probation oso nd pay 3 months??? I initially signed wen I see the 2 weeks notice probation. Never think so much. Now tat I really read thru the contract it seems to make me stay for 3 years??? |

There's no training. Its an executive position n my replacement is on one month notice and never heard of the policy before.

Hi there. Yep I did sign but it seems that the contract terms are not valid either with mom rules or contract law. Im comtemplating legal advice n im still on probation just curious anyone hu signed a contract with clauses that only protects one party.
If after seeking advice it is invalid then I will quit. |

nonetheless, how's the job so far? if it's not that bad, and u think u can stay for 3 years, then nth to worry isnt it? rather to go complicate matters. if u're really uncomfortable, go speak to ur HR better, legal advice/action is def > ur 3 months salary + lots of unpleasant moments. |

first, dig out all their particulars. step 1: pay $5 at .bizfile.com.sg to buy their company profile. you can counter sue the directors of the company for any violation. even if you receive a letter of demand (LOD) from their lawyer, you still don't have to pay. you can reply nicely asking if such a contract is even enforceable. also, if you are protected by MOM regulations (i.e. income less than $2,500, i think), you can approach MOM for help. furnish MOM with all the company's particulars - office address, names & residential addresses of all the directors, contact numbers, etc. careful: lawyers are always the winners. if things worsen to the level where you must get a lawyer, try to get a pro bono one to help you. my take on this (caveat emptor): you can walk away from the job. |
further, if you know of any wrongdoing in this company, be a whistleblower and take the 1st retaliatory step. examples: tax evasion, software piracy, illegal PIC claims, illegal activities, sexual harassment.
for taxes and PIC-related matters, call IRAS. for illegal activities, call CPIB or CAD. for sexual harassment, call 999. start collecting evidence. bad people need to have a taste of their own medicine. |
