you can take as many sick leave as require. There is no such thing as you could only take sick leave after 90 days of service. You are just not entitle to be paid when you are on medical leave. Ppl don't 'apply' sick leave, they just take it when sick.

Yeah... But I can be sure that the word "entitled" is used in my offer letter. I think if I fall sick before that 90 days, it will be considered as unpaid leave (with appropriate reason) instead of sick leave.

Anyway, I get what you mean. Yes, just take it when sick but need to inform supervisor also mah. Sort of like verbal application? Who knows some supervisor will force you to come back to work even after knowing that you fall sick?

dont need jelly la. work like mad fellow only. hahaha

i need ur guy help how go to singapore tuas from jb here???? i gt interview at tuas, singapore??? may i know which public transport i have to take can reach the location?

take the yellow bus at giant.

yeah. how hard could that be. just follow megadisc instruction. just take the yellow bus. at giant there. i think jb got only 1 yellow bus and 1 giant.

Got a few Giants lah.. To be specific, go to the one at Bukit Indah. Take CW3 from there and it will bring you to Jurong East.

Somehow I am lucky I didnt meet such things myself. I hope more people will have a fairer work condition as I think sick leave is an essential thing but not something you use to exploit.

Hohoho.. welcome to Singapore! where work is life . This year I think it really passed too fast, I was rarely in SG mostly travelling here and there. Even my landlord thinks I am a secret agent.

Bro, only way to Tuas is either taxi or bus. My advice (since it is an interview, dont want to be late for that for sure) is to get a taxi app when you arrive at SG like GrabTaxi, SMRT taxi. GrabTaxi is better app. SMRT taxi driver really hate going to Tuas.

It is very hard to get taxi to go there because it is a lost for them to go in due to bad traffic condition. They are currently building multiple highways there that makes it worst compared to last time.

My advice is to always travel at off peak time (between 7-9am and 4-7pm). Also avoid Fridays, as most taxi drivers go pick up hot chicks at the city instead of dirty filthy whore shipyard worker like us.

Always plan your trip 1-2 hours ahead, make your taxi booking at that time. Also get a confirmation from the driver and operator. Once I told the taxi drive Sembawang shipyard, he drove me to Shipyard road. I was with my colleague and both of us said the same thing.

You forget to mention when you fart it smells sweeter to the contractor and consultants.

Actually it's nothing special eh... I think it's some rule set by MOM. I mean the 90 days thingy.

See http://www.mom.gov.sg/Documents/others/FW/...n%20Workers.pdf

(v) Annual Leave
You are entitled to paid annual leave if you have
worked at least 3 months for the same employer.
You are entitled to 7 days for 12 months of
continuous service and one additional day for
every 12 months of continuous service, up to
a maximum of 14 days leave.
If you have not completed 12 months of
continuous service, you will be entitled to
pro-rated annual leave.

(vi) Sick Leave
You are entitled to 14 days of outpatient sick
leave per year and 60 days of hospitalization leave
(this includes the 14 days of outpatient sick leave)
if you:
• Have worked with your employer for at least
3 months.
• If you are a new employee, your entitlement
to paid sick leave is phased in after you have
completed 3 months of service as follows:




and then... http://www.rikvin.com/learn/incorporation/...employment-act/

The Singapore Employment Act does not cover the following groups of workers:

Professionals, Managers and Executives (PMEs) whose basic monthly salaries (BMS) exceed $4,500
Seamen
Domestic workers
Staff of the Singapore Government or a Statutory Board
However, the EA covers other employees under a COS, regardless of nationality, including:

PMEs whose BMS are S$4,500 or less*
Workmen (manual workers) whose BMS are S$4,500 or less and
Other employees whose BMS are S$2,500 or less.
*except for part IV of the EA, which provides for protection for rest days, hours of work and overtime.



So those rules set out in the EA applies to me (don't want say "us" coz many here exceeds the 4500 bracket )


Anyway... My work is fine. Nothing too stressful or anything as an entry staff. Not really unfair la But as people usually do, not satisfied with the salary, I want moreeeeee

Welcome to SG forum.

1. You dont need a local address to apply for a job, but having a local address is in a way better. But most important is to get a SG local number (prepaid) to at least establish the bridge in communication if you are at JB.

2. There are headhunters here in this forum. Ask the sifu and guru here.

Just to give you a summary of the ball game here:

Usually, it is better to apply through head hunter. As most head hunting jobs are outsourced to them by the clients.
Clients dont want to waste thier time in a shit pile of of applicants.

In Singapore everyhing is about networking with people. Bombard your resume to head hunter sites. Send them emails and call them.
Take your time to explain your core experience and professional certifications.

Take what ever you need make you have the better edge as a candidate. Also there are alot fo people applying for the same job. Citizens and PR are given higher priority to secure a job. Usually you will know how many locals have applied for a job at https://www.jobsbank.gov.sg/

Usually those job posted on Jobstreet.sg sites are stale. So, dont bother applying at Jobstreet. Instead apply at head hunter sites listed at Jobstreet. Deposit your resume in all of thier website. But nothing beats networking and real conversation.

Well, I rarely touch my sick leave anyways still young. I always refer to my contract only. MOM is like a mother setting out ground rules, anything agreed beyond MOM is between you and the employer. Of course anything fishy I can smell, I always look it up at MOM. Thus, contract always overwrites MOM, unless it breaks their rules such things like no OT or day compensation for working during public holidays. Even when the contract didnt state anything, the MOM rules kicks in as the minimum condition.

so where can i take the taxi????? after we arrive in sg mean digi or celcom or maxis line can't usable??? so i guess can't using the internet lo...

Get a local sim is very cheap. Then get an application called GrabTaxi.

http://grabtaxi.com/singapore/

They allow pick up points and drop off as well.
