i am facing the same problem as one of the members who posted
sometime about getting sued for breach of employment contract.
right now, i m in a fix and cannot move on
i applied for an office administrator position and my employment
contract stated office manager, i pointed out to the lady at the
firm, she said the same what.
when i reported for work, she asked me for my ic which i don't
carry with me, i went home to get and she asked me to photocopy
from home.
during interview i said i prefer 5 days week, she said okay.
contract stated i have to work on sat. i pointed to her, she said
if need to take sat off, just apply leave, i have 20 days of annual
leave and how many days will i have left. she said in that case,
never mind. for both points she did not amend.
the print on the contract is very small and the lights were very
dim in her room, she shoved the contract to me seated in front of
her to read and sign.
it stated i cannot take leave on mon, fri and eve ph.
salary will be paid in arrears monthly.
the worst part is 14 WEEKS notice period. I just could not
open my mouth to ask her on the notice period part, and i did not
know y too. i just sgned.
the lady did not sign on the contract and it was my
signature.
i worked half a day on that day.
I just felt so uneasy after that half day.
I wonder who is my real employer cos there was another elderly
lady who dd sewing in the sewing room. There was no desk for
me, i was asked to sit in the sewing room which has one chair and
there was a computer too, i was asked to search and look for
electrician. They wanted to charge for transport to come and
view the place but the lady refused to pay and i was scolded by
them because of her.
I was told not to put through all incoming calls to her but to
take down messages in a book. there were vendors looking for
payment and she did not return calls at all. is she escaping from
vendors? if she is, it also means i will not get paid on time each
month.
i went to mom to see the advisory officer early ytd mng, it was
useless,they could not do anything cos i signed the contract.
ytd, the company emailed me to ask for $6,300! i m jobless at
the moment, my hubby is retired and i have school going kids.
the intent to cheat is obviously very evident.
i m losing sleep and appetite after the half day i worked.
what is coming by my way, next? letter of demand from
them.
if she is open for discussion, i would have discussed with her,
she has a stature that i m not open for discussion.
i am writing this cos i want to share my bad experience.
i cannot move on, and best is MOM is not helping with this
issue.
