Use your annual leave. Just say it is for personal reasons.
It is still the truth and they can't force you to explain what personal reasons, hence the meaning of "personal" is illustrated.

just like mavik said, use your annual leave and give the reason to do your personal work. But if regularly do that then your employer will suspicious you are finding others job.

The best way is just take your anual leave. MC or sick leave is too dangerous! If the company know, they will sack you immediately tongue.gif

The most honourable way is to use Annual Leaves. However, if the company is bad then an MC is in order. smile.gif

If you take MC, make sure you are not discovered with a tie and office clothes and your cert file in your car rclxub.gif

Otherwise, you may prepare to hear your boss's speech when you return to office blink.gif

Some excuses u can use:-

1. My car broke down.
2. My son/daughter having high fever ( if ur married)
3. My mom/dad having high fever
4. I twisted my ankle and I can't walk - good excuse then u can take normal leave as if u go see a chinese doc on this u won't get mc from them but ur employer will understand.
5. Some theif went into my house.
6. My maid ran off - then say u need to check if anything was stolen
7. etc etc

so many excuses u can make

If you use this excuse, make sure you play along; that is do not walk normally for a few days or do not play sports with your boss/colleagues the next day laugh.gif

I have something 2 ask related to the same matter here.

I've been working in this company for 3 months plus and i'm still not confirmed yet. Earlier, i went for an interview in another company and i just got a call from them that i got an offer. At the same time, this company that i'm currently working has just passed to me an performance evaluation form and i oledi pass the form to them. Honestly, i didn't really perform well in this current job.

Do you think i can just tender my resignation b4 they can evaluate my performance? Does it make any difference?

How can that be? Shouldn't you have annual leave and when you use your annual leave it is definitely for personal reason, whether it be for holidays or other things?

As for applying 1 week in advance, I had the same situation as well so I usually tell the interview that i needed to plan my leave and work with them to re-schedule the timing.

Why not? Since you are still in probation period, I guess you could give them 1 day notice for resignation. If you think the job from another company suits you better, then resign a.s.a.p before matter gets worse.

Since you signed the appointment letter liao, you must follow what stated in the letter. Labour law also cannot help you. Anyway, you will still entitle for the annual leave which you are not eligible to take while under probation. Upon resignation, the HR will decuct the annual leave for you.
