without serving notice will i still receive salary?

Lxiaoyingl SG

i worked at a boutique for 1 week, but due to the riduculous OTs like 11.45 release you with no mrt/bus home, the next day i smsed my in charged, saying i resigned. she said take care and stuff, and i didnt turn up for work after that.

i was told before, it was a 1 week notice period. but i didnt serve it as i resigned the next morning and didnt turn up after that. Will i still receive salary for the 1 week that ive quitted? plus OT?

FireIce SG

if they nasty, they can dun pay u

best is to check with the incharge or the HR of the co.

Lxiaoyingl SG

FireIce SG

did u sign any contract and did the contract specifically state that if you did not serve notice, the co. can dun pay you?
if there is no black and white, then they can say watever they want and u can oni LL

This is Singapore, they are all nasty.

They won't pay you and they know there's nothing you can do about it and they also know you don't have money to hire legal services to claim back your work expenses or OT.

Check your employment letter. Read the fine prints.

ditzy SG

Of course not! That's what notice is for duh!

You only worked 1 week prior to the resignation, so the most they deduct from you is 1 day's pay.

You have to check to see if your employment contract specifically states 1 week notice. It's best you call Ministry of Manpower to confirm.

Notice of termination of contract
10. —(1) Either party to a contract of service may at any time give to the other party notice of his intention to terminate the contract of service.

(2) The length of such notice shall be the same for both employer and employee and shall be determined by any provision made for the notice in the terms of the contract of service, or, in the absence of such provision, shall be in accordance with subsection (3).

(3) The notice to terminate the service of a person who is employed under a contract of service shall be not less than —

(a) one day’s notice if he has been so employed for less than 26 weeks;

(b) one week’s notice if he has been so employed for 26 weeks or more but less than 2 years;

(d) 4 weeks’ notice if he has been so employed for 5 years or more.

(4) This section shall not be taken to prevent either party from waiving his right to notice on any occasion.

(5) Such notice shall be written and may be given at any time, and the day on which the notice is given shall be included in the period of the notice.

Agreed with the forumers.

Check with your HR.

1 week + ot should hav at least a few hundred dollars.

But then it really depends whether you have the letter of employment or not. That is very important proof.

If verbally, then they can bit you and dont pay you.

LL lah.

Go call your HR to check.

abnn SG

if ur notice period stated is 1week, then u worked 1week tender without notice, then ur 1week pay will be gone, but guess you can claim back the OTssssss

MOM is oni to provide a guideline, not a rule on every org.
the co.'s agreement can supersede the MOM guidelines

TS, I hate to tell you this but I don't need to lie to you about it.

WE LOVED TO SEE YOU GO THROUGH ALOT OF TROUBLE TO ACHIEVE FUTILE RESULT.

This is Singapore, we are all not really out to make life better for one another. We are all out to kill each other legal, politely and in the most civilised ways possible.

Not specifically stated in the contract means the max they can deduct is 1 day for your case.

Cant say much about yr boss call you up.

You should ask what's up? And immediately ask for your pay + ots.

You need to call her up and check with here about the status.

Good that you rec her call....at least there is some lead...
