Depending on which one you go, usually on the last day, clearance sales.... but I can't say all the time, went afew of tem, that's what they usually do. If you can find things that are available in Sim Lim too, chances are they are much cheaper than SL. That's why I go there shop when near to Fair period.

As for 13 month thing, SG Gov is trying to get companies to go onto variable component in their pay package. All Gov sectors are doing it. Besides the 13 month, if SG economy do well, Gov give out extra bonus on top of 13 month. Part of the extra comes from these variable component. in case of recession, Gov wil lcut the variable component, keeping the fixed salary alone. bonus of course, don't have, but 13 month is fixed.

intend to organize a gathering at vivocity this coming sat? Anyone interested?

Please put down ur name so can further work on it.

How much minimum can an accountant earns in SG giving that he has completed his ACCA and have 2.5 yrs audit exp?

More than 3k?? no idea :D

At least $3.5K to $4K... my fren is an accountant and he is earning $3.6K with only 1.5 yrs exp and have ACCA.

where he work?

Please forgive my laziness from doing research, can someone tell me if there is a specific definition on variable component? My employer does pay variable component but the way it works sounds "weird" to me. Let say company promises one that the salary when joining is 2K and will be raise to 2.3K upon end of probation. However, eventually the promised increment will be stated as variable component. In this case, the employment letter does not mention specifically if the $300 will be coming from basic salary or variable component. Now my doubt is that, when company is not perform well or encounter recession, is it legal for employer to pay you only 2K rather than the promised 2.3K? Hope someone can enlighten me a bit

i was using their mobile bb terrible also canceled it instantly after the contract expired (which was 6 months) regretted signing for their phone line also can terrible alot of places no line damn stupid arse service.

canceling it immediately when the contract expires next may


only gov comp hav tat extra income right
private comps dun hav at all. 13month depend on comp if u guys wanna get 13 month try those mnc comp most of them ha i repeat most not all. china man comp can forget bout it

No, I had worked with local companies and MNC too, both pay me 13 month. One of the company, boss from HK, Malaysian machinists also get 13 month... in fact, minority were locals. Sorry, I had not really refer to the guidelines for donkey years.... those days, it was a recommended guidelines only... but lots have changed including no. of leaves, no longer guidelines, but as a law now. Some I don't really know what else is new and changed. However, just now over news, Gov is seeking public feedback on employment issue, on what I don't know. Tomorrow news paper I see can find anything about what they looking forward to change if any.

Added on September 3, 2008, 12:24 amI just tried, hope I don't mess up. This variable component is something which SG Gov introduced beccause it claimed, heart ache to cut pay. So make some part of salary variable. when times are bad, only cut back on this variable portion (may varies ), not the fixed salary part. Like Fuel surcharge. Fuel price down, no need to charge, helps company to stay alive longer to ride out teh bad times by not giving out the variable portion instead of retrenching people, which is more drastic. People loose their jobs, not even a single cent as income. This was obvious in the last recession in SG... so SG Gov is urging companies to practice this to avoid retrenching workers. In fact, all Gov related agencies follow this rule, This has been practice for years even before I join the Gov service, something which had been implemented long ago during LKY's time, not sure GLC does that.

I work in Gov sector, my pay slip has it all stated clearly, what is variable and is not. Bonus issued also inclusive of these variable component as a whole. So the variable part may be taken away because of that. I think its part of the guidelines, but now made law, practice in Gov sector and some unionised companies, bigger ones too, like SIA, etc... I guess that's the reason why its not reflected in your appointment letter because it being variable component.

Count me in but this coming saturday after 2pm is okay for me coz i need to attend some volunteer work in YMCA

I see... I think for next job I have to ask and request employer to state it clearly on employment letter. Let say a job with $3K salary is actually consists of $2K basic salary + $1K variable component, that really sounds unsafe to me . In many application forms (i.e. job app), $2K vs $3K basic salary makes a big difference
