Annual leave system

[WTF]

My ex-company only can take leaves after you earn them ie. it will be credit into the system every month. If you take unpaid leave, it will affect your appraisal at the end of the year.

 

My current one can start taking once the new year starts.......

[Jman888]

MC where got pro-rate one, if the guy fall sick on 1 Jan took 14 days leave then tender, company also LL

 

I think your company must be employing many smelly people who will disappear after taking extended home leave. Some will even come out with overseas MC and hospitalization proof to extend their leaves.

 

On the bright side.....not many company allow unpaid leaves even if you beg them.

 

Hey TS, on a serious note. Can you confirm with your HR on the MC entitlement. Say you have 12MC entitlement in a year,and in march you chicken pox and hospital give you one week MC. Will the company accept it? Or give you 3days MC and the rest unpaid leave?

How about the medical claims $$$? Will it also be prorated?

FYI there are companies that require you to work one year before you get a single day of annual leave

 

Yes, cat brand companies. 7 days somemore wor.

but if u leave before the year ends and the pro rated leave is lesser than wat u took then they will deduct?

[Shull]

huh......serious......usually it is only during probation period, no leave entitlement.

 

But for 1 whole year...that is against the employment act

My probation also entitled leave.. ONLY IF CONFIRMED.. meaning if probation period you took leave, and suay suay not confirmed, they will deduct your pay..

 

Found this out when was confirmed after 6mths probation end in Nov last year, and HR told me to clear my 8 days leave by year end..

[Raymondism]

my company adopts earn as you work scheme.

 

eg if you are entitled 12 days/year.

in March, you wish to take 8 days leave.

as your earned leave for the year only 3 days till March, the balance 5 days you are forced to take unpaid leave.

 

do your company adopts the same system? what are the advantages of this system?

 

advantage? your staff cannot anyhow take leave lor....

and if they take more than entitled and quit... they hv to pay back... this system prevents this from happening

tat is crazy...

MOM says that staff will be entitled to AL after 3 months of service... regardless of whether confirmed or not

[Raymondism]

Not much of an "industry practice" in Singapore unless you are eligible under Employment Act or civil service, so there can be hundreds of different policies. It's all in your contract, and should be something you find out and negotiate before you take up an offer.

 

For some U.S. firms, annual leave is accrued as "paid time-off", it is part of your salary and you earn it through the year.

everyone is covered under employment act as long as u r employed by a company

u mean CEO not covered under employment act?

[Raymondism]

Since we on annual leave, OT a bit.

 

What was the least you have ever worked for as a permanent staff?

 

Mine was 7 days/year for a 6-day work week from 7:30am-7:30pm for first 3 years as a site engineer.

 

Industry was construction.

 

 

7 days is the minimum

[Raymondism]

employment act employment act applies onli if you earn less than 1.8k.

 

I not onli no leave in the first year, my letter of appointment the company refused to put in which is work day and what is work hour

 

employment act applies to all

 

certain portion like the overtime pay and such apply to a certain group...

do your company adopts the same system? what are the advantages of this system?

 

Same also. You are given pro-rated annual leaves rather than straight 14 days in a year.

 

Only advantage to the company. Leaves is intangible, $ is not.
