good pay For a dip holder 2050 is considered upper end. I assume you are doing an operations role in the healthcare industry. It is norm that there are no aws, bonus etc because you are on a 1 year contract. You may wish to check again though on your 1 month upon completing of the 1 year contract. It should not be subjected to anything if you have completed the full 1 year. |

low salaries for foreign workers Quote:
The contract is lousy. You already have a job in hand. Why not continue with that? Are you a Foreign Worker? Only Foreign Workers for such low salaries and bring down the Singapore salary also down. |

For this kinda pay if u r totally new to a industry is actually not too shabby for a diploma holder. And u said that u r not entitled to specialist clinic and hospitalisation benefit, but i believe u still get paid mc right when u visit the govt or coy appointed clinic? How many days of AL do u get? I am kinda in the same situation as u but i do get 21 days AL, paid MC and my end contract bonus is guarantee 1 mth of my basic pay. |

Depends . R u trying to break into a new function/industry with no experience ? Example, jumping from MNC to bank etc If so, then i might take it because experience may lead to my next job if i am getting no where in my current role dont just think about the pay in the short term. Make sure u know why u r taking this role and for what. Anyway, take 1 year can still serve notice right if u find something better. And when u are young, must be able to take the risk eg hospital and medical .. do u really need it Quote:

At the end of the contract, you still face the possibility of being out of job again. Moreover, the pay is not fantastic to compensate the benefits. For example, you fall sick and have to pay 40 dollars medical fees from own pocket everything. At the end of the day, what matters is not the pay issued, but how much you can bring home deducting all this expenses. However, after weighing these factors and you decide to take up the job, at least you will not be caught unaware. |
