Go make a report to MOM. Get them to help you.

Legally if your pay attracts CPF and you are a Singaporean, the company or organisation cannot escape CPF, report to MOM/CPF and they can follow up because non-payment of CPF is an offence which can result in fines for the organisation.

You must ensure that you have suffice documents to back your claims.

relentless pursuit for perfection;
thats taking a toil
in my health.

Somebody said they saw you,
the person you were kissing wasn't me.
And i will never ask you;
I just kept it to myself.
I dont wanna know;
if you playing me, keep it all a low.
Cause my heart can't take it anymore.

What do i do to make you love me
What do i do to make you care
What do i do to make you want me
Its sad, Its so sad,
Its a sad sad situation

Is it a job contracted with an agency?

In my opinion, it is easier to get payments and timely payouts through agencies.

Yup... if you have those documents, it'll be easier for you to argue your case. If you don't have any, then do you have someone or time-in, time-out sheet that's duly signed by your boss to proof that you had indeed worked for that company before? Cos MOM laws states that a company must pay an employee if he/she had worked in the company for more than 3 days. If it's less than 3 days, then the company has the right not to pay you. :speechless: :freakedout:
