QUOTE(jungyu @ Apr 2 2013, 09:41 PM) hi guys, do we really need to submit last 6 months payslip when applying PR? I just got into my new company for 3 months, confirmed and would like to try for PR but I don't have my previous job payslip. Can I just submit 3 months payslip? (I mean I can but will the application be rejected without being reviewed?) Go ask your previous employer for the payslip or submit income tax IR8A form or slip, better than nothing. |

I really don't mind going to JB every week for a U-turn.
It's just that after the U-turn my MIL face the risk of not able to re-enter SG. |

QUOTE(Dark NT @ Apr 2 2013, 10:09 PM) Hi Guys, any advice or sharing on this would be appreciated. My sis-in-law stayed in SG with visit pass for half a year with my brother before they got married. They went back almost every week because both our parents in Malaysia. No problem when entering SG. I also heard about the 60 days out of 90 days period.I recently got my PR application approved, for me and my family (wife and kids). Now my mom in law (MIL) is currently staying with us in SG under a dependant pass (tied to an employement pass) helping to take care of the kids. I called ICA today and enquired what will happen to the Dependant pass holder once I complete the PR formalities (it's actually not very clear on both ICA and MOM website). I was told that the Dependant pass shall be cancelled through MOM (via Company of the employment pass holder, or the EP holder herself). Once the dependant pass is cancelled, a short term visit pass shall be issued for 30 days, which means the Dependant can continue to stay in SG for 30 days (just like a regular visitor). All these makes sense... However, if my MIL leaves SG within this 30 days (say back to MY for a few days), she might not be able to come back to SG, because a Malaysia passport holder can only stay in SG for a max of 60 days (out of a 90 day period). Unless my MIL applies for a Long term visit pass, which will take 4-6 weeks to process. I plan to apply this immediately after we get our PR IC (or even earlier if possible). But the risk remains - If within 30 days my MIL don't get her Long term visit pass approved for whatever reason, she has to leave SG, and might not be allowed to re-enter SG. And the issue is of course no one to take care of the kids. |

QUOTE(newaisa @ Apr 2 2013, 07:53 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(seantang @ Apr 2 2013, 10:07 PM) Explain that annual leave is an EARNED entitlement. I concur with what seantang said and this is normal during resignation or end of contract. This also applies if you have taken more leave then your earned leave etc (in which you work extend your last day or pay in lieu).By working to the end of your contract, you have earned all your annual leave. It has therefore become ENTITLED to you. There are only 2 possible ways for you to RECEIVE your entitlement. 1. You utilise the leave ON OR BEFORE the coming Friday, OR 2. The company pays you in lieu on Friday. Please ask your boss to state his decision ie. (1) or (2). Cc HR and your second level boss when you send this email to your boss. My concern is more towards the EP or WP pass ( I am assuming you are using a pass). Is the pass expiry day the same as the last day of the contract ? normally companies can renew the pass a few weeks before the pass expiry, and if the pass expires you will need to exit SG within 30 days. Since you mention you have found another job (I assume in SG as well), the new company will renew your pass and cancel your current pass (if is still valid), since each WP or EP is tied to 1 company. In summary, if you don't get a pass on time for the new job you, etc. will need to exit SG (without a pass you cannot legally work in SG) within 30 days. For my case, my EP expired (when I return to SG, I exit before the expiry) I am using white card with 30 days. Also check if the company will withhold your salary for the last month for tax clearance. |

QUOTE(newaisa @ Apr 2 2013, 07:53 PM) Hi All, Check your contrct and ask HR about this, if still cannot, escalate to MOM or go for the easy way, let it burn and move to your new job.I seriously need some advice here. My contract with my current company is going to expire on Monday, 8th. I still have 1 day annual leave to utilize before contract expires. Now, I guess you all know that for contract based jobs, I don't have to resign or give any sort of notice, provided 1 year contract has been fully served. My current company actually intended to renew me. But they do it in the final week prior to contract expiry. Anyone who cares about their future will not wait till final week...which means....I have already found a new and better paying job elsewhere. Now, here's the problem. I have got 1 day annual leave remain and wanted to offset it so instead of working until Monday, my last day will be Friday. But he won't let me utilize the annual leave! My boss actually BURNED himself thinking I have got nowhere else to go, therefore decided to take it slowly on renewing me..... He emailed: "Monday is your last day, then why are you taking annual leave on Monday? We don't have time for that" (More than 50% of people left under his brilliant leadership, therefore that is why "we don't have time for that occurs") Can anyone actually give me some advice?? He still proudly thinks this is totally normal to notify me on final weeks whether he wants to renew me or not. And refused to let me utilize my final day of annual leave I am entitled to. Now this kind of "company leaving" is totally different from resigning from permanent position where you must give notice period. Since there is no notice period involved, even the last day is considered a "normal employment day" and not "notice period" whereby I can't take any leave..... I am bad with debating on this kinda stuffs....anyone can tell me how I should reply? HR is always the best place to ask everything because each company would have slightly differ policy, check with them is better than assuming.

For sharing: QUOTE (1) Life Insurance Relief You may claim for Life Insurance Relief if you satisfy ALL the conditions below: 1. Your total compulsory employee CPF contribution or self-employed Medisave/Voluntary CPF contribution or both in the year 2012 is less than $5,000. 2. You paid insurance premiums in the year 2012 on your own life assurance policies or on insurance (of which you are the policy holder) bought on your wife's life. 3. The insurance company must have an office or branch in Singapore if your policies are taken on or after 10 August 1973. In your case, since Prudential has office/branch in Singapore, you may claim Life Insurance Relief if your insurance is a life insurance and you fulfilled the conditions mentioned above.
