[SG News]She seek $13.5K compensation for "wrongful dismissal" but settle with $1,125

Happens quite common...

Those WP holders only got a short period after losing their job before they get sent back home. Most are very desperate. Whereas sinkie can take their time to find a new job. That’s why it’s always a dilemma for hiring managers whether to let WP holders or Sinkie go. Sinkie can easily find job but WP will be in deep duress..

Not taking sides, but think find it rather disturbing if hirer think like that. Think anyone who lose their job tend would be desperate. To assume foreigners more desperate than locals not sure what kind of logic is that.

Since when many so concern about people welfare when not employee anymore. Its ironic they concern more about foreigners than locals that way when both face the same situation.

Besides, if really want to compare like that, from a different perspective, would like to think that many foreigners even if lose job go back home, would be going back to a very much more lower cost living environment compare to local. Thus is of the impression that they can survive much better than locals.

For local cost of living is quite high, if not very high, even for locals. And, not that jobs are easier to find for locals also, given the perhaps somewhat systematic marginalisation and discrimination of sort over the years. Thus to greater extent perhaps, think locals if to lose job would tend face a much more dire situation than many a foreigner.

You are right!

My wife also kena fired for no reason during covid...

Called up mom and aid they told us not retrenchment cannot take benefits and need mediation... say its very troublesome so best for us to find another job...

So firing someone is better than retrench people...

 

[yeahyeah]

So she settled for half a month salary. I thought she should at least received a month? Or she was already given a month's pay and this half a month is goodwill?

 

[KenwhyKen]

sounds like another CECA takeover of a company from the inside out

[snap99]

did not answer why is this not wrongful dismissal ....

 

[flame2000]

More Sinkies like Miss Wong should speak up n complain to the authorities so that these companies will get penalized.

 

[saycheese]

what a lousy mediator.. asking his client to backdate a resignation letter
if she's dismissed, why will that even be a black mark? I'm sure given the way she leave the coy, anyone who call the coy for reference check cfm get bad feedback lah
be it resigned or dismissed

"but was eventually asked to settle for $1,125."

This amount is derisory! Not even one month's pay.

But an good example NOT to be a silent victim. GO report if you are unfairly treated.

 

[axxomarketing]

I would sue the company.

if company can show that the woman have been given notice/warning before that her performance needs to improve then it will be easy to slap her with performance termination.
If zhun zhun covid, business bad then company start to fire people under pretext of performance and not pay retrenchment, then thats not right.

By right cannot suddenly say poor performance and kick away.. need to have documentation of informing / discussing on e performance .. if not by right e resignee can comprain..

But here it seems like they r toothless tiger...
