    • Recently, I got a packer job through an agent from Recruit Express. However, midway, i was fired by the supervisor. The next day, the agent called me and asked why i quit. I clearly explained to her that i was fired. She said she would call me back. And after a few weeks, there wasnt a call from the company or her. I also didnt received my pay. So, i called up the agent and asked her why hasnt my pay been deposited into my account?

      To my dismay, she balantly said, " oh? you quit what, of cause nv pay u money" . And once again, i told her that i DID not quit. I was fired. But she insisted that i resigned.

      (Because i have to pay them $$$ if i resigned, on the other hand, if i was fired, i do not need to pay them a single cent)

      And also, i was almost electrocuted at least 3 times during my job. I told the agent and still nothing was done to resolve the issue.


      Dear forumers, can you please advice me on how to go about claiming my pay? Do i have to go SCT ? or even ministry of manpower?

    • Must be the company bluff recruit express say that you resign on your own so the company don't need to pay recruit express and so recruit express never pay you..

    • 1) Call your company's supervisor and tell him to write you a letter of termination, if he refuses move to step 2

      2) Call RE and explain your situation, If they refuse to believe, move to step 3

      3) Call/Go down to MOM and let them know your situation, complain about every thing, then call  The New Paper, They will more or less blow this issue up!! "Young Student's life endangered at work and was refused pay"

    • err i thought the terms and condition stated by R.E is that if u get fired or resigned within 1 month, u won't get any pay ? Go check the forms R.E gave u to sign.

      yea, in sg you need black and white for the whole thing. if you have nothing to prove, meaning no hard evidence or documentation, witnesses, you can forget about the whole thing.

      If its a temp position, then you were issued time sheets that you are required to complete and submit to them every week?

       

      And if its a temp position.  They need to pay you even if you did quit after 2 weeks.
