hi guys, let me add in one more agency to the list.
this time it is ITCAN.
basically this agency is run by indian nationals who have converted to sgporens few years ago.
although they smile a lot to their job applicants, they will not let you get off their clutches so easily once contract is signed.
according to the employment terms/conditions and practices act, an employee has the right to choose to tender even though his contract is still running by giving notice period to his employer. by doing so, the employee has not in any way and bit, violated the contract.
when i tender my resignation this morning, they gave all sort of excuses saying i cannot resign within my 1 year of contract. they went on saying all agencies in sg have this practice. I have been to countless of agencies and ITCAN is the first to give such a misleading information to me.
They basically disallow me to leave when I have the rights to! why? because they make you work and take most of your pay!
I'm going to contact the ministry of manpower tmr and see what they have to say about this. I know someone said mom is pro-employer and anit-employee but i'm going to take my chances and if things don't turn out the way it should be, then I can, with a clear conscience say FUG you SINKAPORE!
And to those who wish to know how much comission is taken from your salary, it is 1/2 your pay..at least this is true for some agencies.
My ex-colleague is paid 1500 per month and guess who much the client company is paying his agent? Yes, 3000.
