SGC$: 1,291.38 Bank: 0.00 Total SGC$: 1,291.38 | Hi, need some enlightenment here. Is it possible to get paid by the company directly if I got the job through the agency? Is it considered breaching of any contract? This is for a temp assignment. For I know from insider info, that the agency is only paying me half of what the company pays them. And trust me, it's peanuts. Oh and they tried to lie their way through when I requested for a higher pay, insisting that the agency paid me whatever was offered by the company. Which is dumb to say the least, as we all know that the agency cannot possibly be a middleman for free. |

So it unlikely to switch to under the company. ![]() To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. |

SGC$: 1,291.38 Bank: 0.00 Total SGC$: 1,291.38 | Well I think I would stick to the company and not tender since it is just a temp assignment for the moment. Just wanna get more bang for my buck. Just a warning to people, try to go to smaller agencies which are less famous. They don't take so much of your pay. Bigger agencies have too large a manpower to feed, thus they take more. Or it could be because they took so much from us that they have the resources to open one after another. But I really detest those that are not upfront about it and still tried to beguile us that they are offering whatever was being offered by their client. |

Well... the Human Resource staff of the company that we are working for told us that the recruitment agency won't check on people after their contract ends, as they have too much work that are more important than checking up people to see if that particular clause is being broken. So, we did exactly what we were told: When our agent called us to double confirm the decision made, we told them that we weren't going to extend the contract, though in reality, we are extending our stay by signing a contract directly with the company. In the end, nothing happens... life goes on as usual. ![]()
& also, since that time I had just completed my A-Levels, with what I admit quite naive thinking of the working world, they duped me into believing that I don't need to contribute to CPF, but still receiving employer's CPF at the same time, for a month, since I'm still technically considered a student. That's wrong, pls refer to http://mycpf.cpf.gov.sg/Employers/Ge...yer.htm#annexa for more details. At that time, I was still thinking why are they so anxious to get hold of my student pass... now then I know the reason. After this incident, I made it a point to read through MOM & CPF's laws.
