Lost job during reservaist

maggot SG

Be realistic

A lot will be busy packing up when explosions occur and buildings start to collapse

No telecommunication so they cannot reach me first target of enemies will be take out all communications

So still dispatch people to find me rather than sending them to frontline?

Reservist should be on volunteer basis

But with lots of carrots attached like TAX exemption from a lot of tax free medical care

Last minute scenario where to find soldiers that will report back to their camps where explosions and mass death already occur?

Still remembers my reservist RSM where he volunteered to stay on although he already on MR list

Companies got to watch their bottomline too. If reservist training affects the quota, its better for both the reservist and the company, if the company did not have this employee.

Otherwise, the reservist will find it dmoralising, and the company, in keeping the employee, goes into the red, close shop and affect all the other employees in the company.

This is the real world man...living and business costs are getting higher and lower paid FTs from India and China who are more willing to get the job done is the way to go man...personally if I could, I would not hire a single Sillypore male who's got reservist liabilities.....it's too inconvenient....

Of course on the surface, everyone says to support reservist but as in anything in life...its the real world that counts man....so frankly being a male here is a disadvantage already....best thing for that male to do is to join a GLC or some ST company....that way for sure cannot get the sack cause its gahmen company

Coquitlam SG

So moral of the story is to quit this country if you can like what many of us have done.....like I always said, the moment you are born a male here, you are already disadvantaged for life...unless of course you are born into the elite who can tell people to get out of their elite uncaring face....kekekeke

If TS feels the dismissal is unjustified, go to the Ministry of Manpower to seek a redresss immediately. There's a time limit to seek recourse de! Wink

Seven_Dragon SG

work in government sector... teacher, GLC, ST, CPF, PUB, IRAS, policemen, civil servants, LTA, CAAS... all no need to worry reservists... they happy to go and eat wind eat sand... company won't sack them

Than when you come back from reservaist, you received a notice from them that you got sacked.

You mean you got a termination letter (directly), or was served notice first?

Yes, your boss can train your replacement in your absence -- although rather unethical of him -- but, under the law, he cannot sack you "immediately" unless it's for misconduct (must formally conduct an inquiry). Otherwise, the notice period, if it's not specified in your job contract, is usually 1-2 weeks (employed less than 5 years; I forgot the breakdown) or a month (5+ years). But only one day's notice is needed if you've only worked for less than 26 weeks.

If you think you're unfairly dismissed -- eg. your boss had approved your release for ICT in the first place, despite you being a newbie employee -- then, yes, you can seek legal recourse by appealing to MOM within one month of the sacking. They'll investigate &, if found guilty, your boss must either reinstate (& pay back lost wages) or compensate you. Don't be afraid either way: he'll have to show evidence to the ministry &, ultimately, their verdict shall be final & legally binding.
