I have a friend who works for a company called Teledirect Pte Ltd, who handles the call centre operations for Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Members flight bookings.
She was conned into signing a 18 months contract with them, thinking that the pay is good with incentives and good welfare for working under a well known Singapore Government owned company.
Never know the danger of signing a work contract without even starting on the job, she was horrified to know that the so called incentive was near impossible to hit and they will be penalised with forfeiture of half month of their incentives for just taking 1 day medical leave for the month.
And if you are late for work even 1 second for just once in the month, you will lose the entire month's incentive.
And best of all, whe she was interviewed, she was not informed she is not allowed to carry her mobile phone into the call centre area during working hours and had to leave it in her locker.
And after sigining the 18 months contract, she will have to pay a penalty of 2 months salary if she leaves the company less than 18 months in the job. To top it most, she is still liable to pay the 2 months pay penalty even if she is retrenched by the company within the 18 months contractual period.
Urgently informing everyone not to work for Singapore Airlines's Krisflyer Membership Services Teledirect Pte Ltd.
And strangely, Singapore's Health Minister will allowed people working in Singapore to be penalised for taking just 1 day medical leave when they are genuinely sick. And there is totally no workers protection for people working in Singapore even the Ministry of Manpower always proclaim the tripartite agreement between government, employers and employees will seek a balance of interests for all three parties.
