This future co. like very kiamsap, first time I see applicants paying and making their own application for EP

hmm... if i remember correctly the expenses and also the medical report have to be borne by employer.
also watch out if anyone applied PR successfully, DO NOT allow employer to deduct employer contribution from your salary.
my ex company tried to do that, and i have to get them on conference call and get a direct answer from MOM that its against the employment law before they agree to pay their share.

You could try looking around Jurong East MRT for a start. Rents are quite affordable though the commute to Tanjong Pagar would be rather long. A friend is paying about $550 for a non-air conditioned room somewhere near Jurong East!

Of course it is! You'd be able to save up quite a bit with that salary of yours.

I paid for mine too but the application was done by the company.

If you want close to work, telok blangah or alexandra.

Noted.
Some friend suggested Redhill too.

Will browse through.

Employer not paying worker's CPF is a serious violation. By deducting the employer part of contribution thru the employees pay constituted as cheating. Any particular reason why they are doing it, increased overhead cost perhaps?

pm deodorant with your nick, gender, name and mobile number. He's recruiting and assembling an army of trollers.

Their logic : company didn't ask you to apply pr, it's your own initiative, so you should bear the cost. LOL.

They probably know it's against the law, and any "agreement"they made staff to sign, agreeing for salary to be deducted means nothing. Problem is they've done this to all their staff who applied pr (majority from India)and I'm the first to be exempted, and somehow the earlier victims knew about it cause they came asking me which part of cpf law states that employer must pay their share. I left the company not long after that, so I don't know if the earlier victims got their share of salary back from the company or not.

Hi, I will be starting to work in January.
Refer to my offer letter, there is a sentence stated that

"During the continuance of your employment, you shall be paid a monthly salary of xxxx, subject to the deduction of such amount in respect of your contribution to the CPF (if applicable) or any amount that the company may be entitled to deduct by law."

Is this meant that if I got PR, the employee and employer contribution to the CPF, both will deduct from my salary?

Thank you.

If the premise is that since you have become PR, the company reduces your basic and pays CPF according to the law - the logic is sound. Assuming of course that you agree to the salary reduction. If you don't, the course of action is to renegotiate your employment contract as your residence and employment status have changed. Strictly speaking the basis of your existing employment contract has changed because the laws applicable to you and your employer are no longer the same.

you are pretty well cover i would say. no issue.

but according to the CPF Act, the employer is not allowed to deduct the employer's contribution from the employee's basic salary, there's nothing to negotiate about as any reduction is against the law.

I would just decrease your salary, based on your "non-performance" noted recently, and continue to pay you "new basic salary + cpf contribution" which is equal to your old basic salary without cpf contribution. Perfectly ok. Lu tak suka, lu keluar, the boss said. MOM can't tell me how to evaluate my own employee based on my company policy.

Or just take it as your old salary already include the cpf topup for non-residents, for a happier life, which is why they deduct it away and put it to your real cpf. Maybe the way they write their original contract is not so clear.

Could have just lodge a complaint to mom and let them investigate. That non-performance excuse is commonly used against pregnant ladies, and is no longer valid.
