ok, very clear. tot can go 14days back-packing each time renewal

cabut & wanna make come back after few years, should not be a problem, so long that you:-

1) clear & maintain cyrstal clear record with IRA;
3) clear all billings before you pack your bag;
4) stable>> no job hopping (suka-suka)
2) no nasty remarks made by previous employer in MOM;

this is important:- use back your original FIN no when you do new application when you wanna make a comeback.

i started yr2000, stop in yr2004 (1 company), comeback yr2007 (1 company till now)

Followings for current EP renewal grace period for min starting 3300 pay criteria:-

1)Passes expiring before 1 Jan 2014 will be given a one-time renewal
of 2-3 years based on current criteria

2)Passes expiring between 1 Jan 2014 to 30 Jun 2014 can be renewed for up to one year.

3)Those expiring 30 June 2014 onwards, all EP holders will have to meet the new criteria of higher starting pay on renewal to qualify

you mis-understood, it does not help much in securing a job offer during interview but it makes a lot much easier to secure EP if you have FIN no for reference in your app to MOM if the hirer wants you in.

these are the type of employers that Mr Tan of MOM wants to nab badly thats why this latest policy comes about

+1 agreed

YES, in simple language its akin "all-in fare" to the hirer per head-count

To me it's a positive hiring process, let you know your job expectation before any thing else. I like it whenever matters are made clear for me to consider and decide.
