In such situations, you must refer to your contract of service. Since the provisions in the Employment Act set the minimum standard, the terms of your contract of service must be at least equal to or more favourable than the provisions in the Act, otherwise the terms that are less favourable will be illegal and invalid. <o:p></o:p>

Some of your rights under the Act are issues concerning your "Salary" and "Conditions of Work". <A>Salary</A> Your salary must be paid at least once a month (not necessarily on the first day of a calendar month) and within the first 7 days of each salary month. For example, if you are to be paid on the 15th day of each calendar month, you must be paid no later than the 22nd day of the month. You cannot be forced to sign a contract of service. When you have completed your contract of service, you must be paid all your salary and your employer must allow you to leave your job. If your employer ends your contract of service, you should be paid within 3 days of the end of your employment. If you end your employment, you should be paid within 7 days of the end of your employment.<o:p></o:p>

There are limits to the deductions which can be made and the total amount of such deductions cannot be more than half your monthly salary. In addition to your salary, you may also get extra allowances, for example, for food or accommodation, but not for alcohol or drugs. If your employer provides you with housing accommodation, there must be a proper supply of water, proper sanitary arrangements and first aid equipment available. Your employer cannot tell you how you should spend your salary, for example, if he sets up a canteen at your place of work, he cannot force you to buy your meals there. All salary must be paid in legal tender and be paid into your personal or joint account or by cheque to you. If your employer does not comply with the above, he is guilty of an offence and can be fined up to $1,000 or jailed for 6 months.<o:p></o:p></TD></TR></TABLE>

You are entitled to have an off-day on all official public holidays (but you may agree with your employer to change the off-day to another day). Your annual leave entitlement depends on how long you have worked for your employer. You are entitled to 7 days annual leave if you have worked for 12 continuous months with the same employer. Thereafter, you will get 1 extra day for every addition year of work up to a maximum of 14 days. After working for 3 months, you are entitled to pro-rate your annual leave. In calculating the pro-rated leave, any fraction which is less than half a day shall not be counted, and if it is more than half, it shall be counted as 1 day. Your employer can forfeit your annual leave if you absent yourself from work for more than 20% of the number of working days in the month or year.<o:p></o:p></TD></TR></TABLE>

Your employer can retrench you if you are no longer needed or if there is a reorganisation of your employer's business. Your employer need not give any reasons and he cannot be stopped from employing new workers after a retrenchment exercise. If you have worked for less than 3 years with your employer, the Act says that you are not entitled to any retrenchment benefits at all. However, the Court of Appeal (the highest court in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Singapore</st1:place></st1:country-region>) has decided that the Act does not suggest that if you have worked for 3 years and more, your employer must pay you retrenchment benefits. Retrenchment benefits are therefore payable only if your contract of service (or a collective agreement if you a union member) says so or if your employer decides to pay you ¨ex-gratia〃 (gratuitous) retrenchment benefits. The Act says that if you have worked for less than 5 years with your employer, you are not entitled to any retirement benefits. The Act, however, does not say that if you have worked for at least 5 years with your employer, you are automatically entitled to retirement benefits. The amount of retirement benefits is not stated in the Act and must be negotiated between yourself (or your trade union) and your employer. CPF Savings are now generally considered to be retirement benefits.<o:p></o:p></TD></TR></TABLE>

Notice can be given at any time, but it must be dated and given in writing. Either you or your employer can choose to waive your right to notice. Either party can also choose not to wait for the notice period to expire. In this case, the party who does not wish to wait for the expiry of the notice period must pay the other salary in lieu of notice. Notice of termination need not be given if there has been a breach of the terms and conditions of the contract of service. For example, if your employer fails to pay your salary, or if you feed that you have been asked to do something which will involve danger, violence or disease which is not stated in the contract of service, you may leave your employment without giving notice. (It is advisable to seek advice from your lawyer or the Ministry of Manpower before doing this). On your part, your employer need not give you notice if you absent yourself from work for more than 2 days without prior leave or without reasonable excuse or attempting to inform your employer. The employer can, instead of dismissing you, do the following: - instantly downgrade you; or - instantly suspend you without pay for a period not exceeding 1 week. If you think that your employer has acted wrongfully, you can complain to the Ministry of Manpower within 1 month of the dismissal.<o:p></o:p></TD></TR></TABLE>

Female employees are entitled to maternity leave 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after delivery of their child. Alternatively, you and your employer may agree to a period of a 8 weeks commencing not earlier than 28 days before the day of your confinement. To be entitled to full pay during maternity leave, you must have worked for at least 180 days before delivery of the child. You are only entitled to full pay during maternity leave for your first two children. You must inform your employer at least 1 week before you commence your maternity leave and also inform your employer of the date of delivery of your child as soon as possible. If you do not give the notice, you will only be entitled to half pay unless you have good reason for not giving the notice. Maternity leave is your entitlement and it is illegal for your employer to ask you to give up your maternity leave. During maternity leave, you are entitled to be paid your full salary as usual, but you are not allowed to claim for sick leave. Your employer is not entitled to terminate your service and neither are you allowed to give notice of termination using your maternity leave as the notice period. However, if you work in another job when you are supposed to be on maternity leave, you can be dismissed.<o:p></o:p></TD></TR>

If you have any disagreement with your employer about your salary, the terms of your contract or your rights under the Act, you can make a complain to the Ministry of Manpower. The fee for making a complaint is $3.00. You must do so within 1 year of the incident that you are complaining about. If your complaint is about the termination of your contract, you must complain within 6 months of the termination. If you think your employer will leave <st1:country-region w:st="on">Singapore</st1:country-region> to avoid paying your salary, you can apply to the Commissioner to ask that your employer give a guarantee to remain in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Singapore</st1:place></st1:country-region> until the salary is paid. The Commissioner will inform the party whom you are complaining against and summon him and any other interested party to attend an inquiry into the complaint. The Commissioner may hold a preliminary inquiry and parties are given a change to settle the matter at the preliminary inquiry. If a settlement is reached, the Commissioner shall make an order to record the terms of the settlement and the order shall be as effective as an order made after an inquiry. At the inquiry, the Commissioner will hear evidence from all sides to the dispute and then make the necessary order. The order can be to dismiss the claim or to order a party to pay a sum of money to satisfy the claim. The Commissioner can make an order in the absence of one party if that party fails to attend the inquiry. Any party not satisfied with the Commissioner's order can appeal to the High Court within 14 days of the decision.<o:p></o:p></TD></TR></TABLE>

Children below the age of 14 years are not allowed to work in an industrial undertaking unless it is family business where only family members are employed. An industrial undertaking includes mines, quarries, factories, shipyards, businesses and companies carrying out construction work, transport (including bus, ship, car, lorry) operators. Children of 12 years and above may be employed in a non-industrial undertaking to do light work suited to their capacity. A certificate by a medical officer shall be conclusive of whether any work is suited to that particular child. No young person (i.e. between 14 and 16 years) shall be employed in any industrial undertaking declared by the Minister to be one which cannot employ your persons. Any employer who breaches any of the above commits an offence and can be jailed for up to 6 months and/or fined up to $1,000 for the first offence an up to two years and/or $2,000 for a subsequent offence.
