i got fired from work and i cant get my pay which is about 600
plus before cpf cut. does anyone know of anyway i can get my pay.
im in deep shit got fired without my pay is so unfair man. but the
contract i signed states that if im fired without or with any
reason no salary shall be made payable for me. is there anyway i
can actually try to appeal without going to the lawyer becuz if im
calling a lawyer it will be like 3k + and my salary is onli 600 so
its not worth it. anyone can u please tell me wad i should do. or
is it best to just leave it and dun get my pay no pt fighting for
it since the contract already states like tat? please advice. thank
you very much.
i got fired cuz i quarrelled with a staff and scolded
vulgar languages inside the staff room in the hello shop.
It is quite common to see people being illegally or unfairly
fired from their jobs. No idea about national statistics but based
on an article I read, they estimated 250,000 workers annually (US),
not counting those that were justifiably terminated.
Judging from your post, I am not surprised you got fired. But
very surprised you are not paid a single cent for 12 days work and
you are prepared to walk away without raising questions to both MOM
and top management of SingTel.
You should have a copy of the contract you signed and a letter
of termination stating why you were terminated without notice. If
you don't have them, get them. If you don't have your punch card,
call them up. Ask them for it. I don't think there is a chance in
hell they won't give.
If I were in your shoes, I will write a straightforward letter
to the head office and make a formal appeal. Make it objective and
simple with facts and dates, when did you commence employment, when
were you terminated, who terminated you and the reasons you were
given.
Tell them you accept the dismissal, but you should be paid for
the work you did.
If they say no, you ask why.
If they say because the contract says so, ask them why there are
clauses like that.
Best to ensure your correspondences are made in email.Take it
from there but you need to do this within one month.
Then with these information, phone MOM, make some enquiries, do
some investigation on your own. It won't take you more than half a
day to find things out.
How old are you? 18? 23? It is ok to clarify your doubts, there
is nothing wrong with asking these questions and finding out why.
Even if eventually, you still don't get paid, at least you
understand what went wrong and why it went wrong.
Meanwhile start looking for a new job and maybe it's time to
change your approach with new colleagues in your new workplace.
You may act and sound like a real pisser, but that don't mean
you don't deserve some good answers from them. Good luck pal.
