Need Help In Seeking Payment

SpecOps87 SG

Hi all,
Am currently working part-time on weekends and during my semester/term holidays selling digital cameras. I've not receive any pay from late November till now. Where can I seek grievances? Also, my boss is holding back pay so that staff will work for him. many of my friends suggested to go MOM, however I have a problem, as there wasn't any formal contract, any proof of us working. So I'm afraid that MOM may dismiss the case. Please help, he owes me about SGD$1.4k+.Thanks

Ask lawyer for help.

dragg SG

the lawyer will cost more than the 1400.

MOM cant really help. go to tribunal claims.

Ask lawyer for help.

If not friend the lawyer fee should be > 1.4+ K. Go figure Mr. Green

like they say...try going to the tribunal claims...which i think its around amk if i am not wrong...
otherwise...you can go try talking to the police men at NPP...see what they tell you...and what can be your next course of action...

why no black & white? lesson learned for you and your friends.

like that your boss can say your pay is only $1 / hour instead of $10/hour as he promised at the beginning. ( even you can prove that you work there)

tribunal claims.. also useless as there is no document.

to let them know the real world.... Laughing

So how do you suggest I get a black and white from the boss? Honestly, I think that MOM should totally bar such HR agencies, as they are total swindlers. They get paid early, but delay payment for the staff. There's totally no laws to protect the staff.

hmhm... mean u never sign anything prior to first day of work?

then during work? never punch card or what?

no records of your work at all??

don't go lawyer, do go to the MOM, they are useless...waste time only...

fasterest, simplest, easiest, cheapest way is via media...

just call the Channel U or 8 hotline, tell them your story...then they will help you solve the problem...

call them telling you have a story for the focus point (channel Cool or just shoot (channel U - topic on unpaid wages)
