polarsnake SG The employment agency called two days ago regarding a job offer as a cashier. He told me that I could work 8 hrs per day... so I calculated properly liao, I can earn more than what i was working as at the time (IT retail) as well as lesser working hours. So I quit the retail job and went for interview today for the post of cashier. Today the people at Giant told me that I can currently only work for 5 hrs/day. WTF... that means I can only earn about $650/month! My previous job could rake in $1000/month leh (not including commission). I feel so cheated.. _l_ _l_
fudgester SG Well, if you want, you can try bringing it up with MOM. The labour laws cover part-timers as well.
red_amoeba SG did u sign any job description / contract w/ the job agency, can refer back to that and hold them responsible.
gd4u SG Lol, job agents … their aim is to suck ur money, they dun give a damn to ur welfare, or whether ur pay is recieved promptly and they take every chance to reduce ur pay … good luck to u …
dragg SG never mind lah. go out and play!!! you will get your chance. after graduation you get to slog 30-40 years until you die. are you a cow? ler kia bo ki huay cho meh?
polarsnake SG Unfortunately, no... When I asked the agent about working eight hours, he just said "as long as you can commit more than 4 hours a day, can liao. 8 hours no problem"
polarsnake SG Come to think of it, I haven't received my pay from the agency from that previous job as a stock taker in carrefour
