Unregistered | Diploma starting pay has stagnated for the last 15 years actually. Even degree also barely kept up with inflation. | |

Yes i've already met them up and found out information about it. I'll be under the company directly so probably the agent isnt taking a monthly cut from my pay, the company will pay the servicing fee. About the under table part, that's a genuine question. I've heard about it happening for part time jobs, but none for full time jobs yet. That's why i asked. The answer could be a simple yes or no, i don't understand why people have to start telling me to grow up or try to downgrade me and try to put me in my place. Respect is something many lack here i guess? So from what i've read so far, the answer is no, the HR won't jeopardize any relationship with the agent and do that. Thank you, that's all i needed to know for now. |

You aren't exactly being very mature about this by choosing to get all emo ranting over some random rude post and not following up with any useful updates or additional info for others to advise you. Personally my take is quite similar to the guy above though I won't be rude. You should really just try to get a few basics contractual matters right and try to approach this properly instead of trying to pull tricks to game the recruitment system when you haven't actually even started work. This has nothing to do with being young or stuck in the 1970s. What you are suggesting TBH is really quite amateurish and has no chance of succeeding in real life. No HR is going to do under table deals with a freshman technician just 3 months into a job. My 2c. |

Wow, someone's a salty little baddie. Typical singaporean mindset, no respect for anyone younger than them, you only consider age and work experience as everything. Sorry to say things change, this is not 1970s where everyone needs to have a bad experience working or force yourself to mature the moment you get your first job. Yes you gotta be more mature, but not as salty as you. I suggest you calm down and try to be constructive or say nothing at all. Easy to say anything you want when hiding behind an unregistered account. |

Unregistered | Typical shift allowance should range from 600 to 1000. The offer isnt good at all if you do the sum. | |

Your payroll and main employment letter has to be from the employer itself, otherwise you are considered a contractor from the agency. Under the table stuff only happens for middle & above level positions, no employer is going to jeopardize the relationship with the agency and expose themselves to lawsuits for a entry level blue collar worker. Industry practice is you must quit the agency & cool off for 6 months before the employer can hire you direct. First thing you should do is to clarify whether your headcount is the employer or the agency side. And join on the basis that you are ok with the 1.9k + 140 package, don't fantasize about the company pulling stunt on your behalf to up your pay after a few months, nobody will be bothered to do such things for a poly freshie technician. |

I got the job through jobcentral, the company got the agency to do the recruiting. Its the typical XXXX job up to $XXX salary adverts you see. I will be signing the contract with the agency and the company itself. Interview was done by the company just like a normal job etc. So you're telling me now i'm considered a contractor for the agency? So i'm officially not employed under the company? Does this mean i don't get company benefits or? Is this the case for all jobs under agency? Also is there any rule stating that you cannot swap to the company directly after a certain period of time? Obviously under table stuff, agency mentioned gotta do that job min 3 months, after that can i quit and join the company itself? |
