just trying to say this for future reference,

The employee is not eligible to work with an IPA. The policy has changed.. the employee can only start working after submitting the medical check up result and getting the Notification Letter (I have verified it personally with the MOM officer).

Hi Guys, just checking. If I got my EP 3 months ago then now I'm jumping to a different company, do I still need to go thru another round of medical checkup for new EP application for new company? During the first EP application (3 months ago), I had gone thru medical checkup.

hi guys, im on the verge of being offered a Field TechnicianĀ  position in singapore with a US based company. They are in the oil and gas industry.

so far im unsure what benefits they are willing to offer me. i suppose it might be just the standard ones like medical.(no housing/Ā  transport. its all under me for those)

ive read about the tax there and im not that sure and just have rough gestimation.

if i were to ask forĀ  a basic of 4.5k - 5k, with the intention of at least taking home about 3.5k of salary post expenses + taxes will this be a good figure? or a is it a viable figure

simply put im looking at a rough figure of Rm10k +/- per month to take home so to speak.

is it possible? all replies and help is appreciated. thanks.

looks alright tht figure. just curious, how many yrs exp u have to command tht salary ? i spend 600sgd accomodation + 600 daily expenses (inc mrt, food, etc).

new company will be applying EP pass for me once the 14 days period requirement has passed. for existing EP holder, just wondering will the MOM take long time to process new EP ?

also the current procedure is : Hold on old EP --> new company HR process my EP --> new IPA issued --> then only i tender resignation ? --> old EP cancelled
