Hi guys, for first-timers like me working in Singapore for the first time, this company retain 15% of my monthly salary for the first 6 months and the reason they give is to pay the income tax incase I left the company before 6 months.

Now, 6 months has passed and I asked the HR, he explained to me that this money will return back to me next year which is a total of 1 1/2 years working OR if I quit the company.

Anyone experience such cases before, like retaining some of your monthly income to pay for income tax incase you run away from the company?

Not exactly familiar with CPF but...
I am quite sure you can use CPF to contribute towards the purchase of property - downpayment and installment
CPF also grant personal relief to the tax payer.
so no difference there between EPF and CPF.

If everything you do is kacang putih, then the things that you learn faster is also kacang putih. MNCs won't pay you for the kacang putih that you've learnt.

So even if you justify joining a small company to "learn faster", make sure whatever you learn is worth money to your future career.

I've had interviewees coming to us with a good degree but a few years experience with a no name company where they are currently have a managerial position. When we offer them an exec's salary instead of a manager's, they will start talking about how they managed "Purchasing, HR and Admin" on top of accounting. But the fact is that I am not going to give you a MNC manager's role because you bought Milo from the pantry, banked in the payroll/CPF and supervised the secretaries and tea lady.

Without fail, they were expecting a big jump in salary when they move from small firm to MNC. But that never happens because the pao kah liao they did previously is worthless to the MNC.
