Polytechnic starting pay

[gbomega]

I was at another forum and quite a number of poly holders revealed that their starting pay is between $1.4k to $1.8k.

I do not believe their pay is so low, are they kidding or what? Any reference on the internet to find out? Thanks

they are saying the truth. i am talking about sci graduate from poly. those with zero working experience starting pay if they work in a hospital lab is about 1400. those who manage to find a job as a lab tech etc might be in the range of 1600 to 1800. boys that finished NS if they are lucky maybe 2k.

these are excluding shift allowance or OT pay.

it might be even lower for biz and arts graduates, which mostof the time employed to do clerical work. i had heard of arts grad from nus starting pay for a 1st class honour is only 1700, to few years back a biz grad from ntu accepting 1500 job. of course don't compare those top 5 percent who managed to enter banking and fin. sectors, its better to compare with the majority to see a bigger picture.

IS truth. That the basic pay not included-allowance, transports allowanace if have, OT, shift allowance.

 

[DarthRevan]

basic for polytechnic is correct $1.4-1.8k

 

[Unrepented]

Graduates from SMU are mainly employed to do clerical duties or marketing, no OT pay one lah.

$1.4K is very good oredi. There is one NYP graduate attaching to my team this month. She got this contract job through employment agency and has to giving part of her salary to the agency and so her take home is only $900. Some more got no cpf or any allowances except free meal on duty.

The PRC mei mei servers in our department are having take home pay of $1.8K.

This is good example of how the PAP has made Singaporeans worse off in their own country. I can assure you that the NYP graduate is more qualified than the PRC. I used to have an MNC client with a PRC manager. This manager cannot even write a decent email without horrendous English mistakes. He is also does not know his work at all. The company pays for his condo in downtown area. I am certain his salary is at least $7K.

When FTs are allowed in without first ensuring that a Singaporean is not available for the job then such things happen. Other first world countries have policies that ensure that their citizens get first bite at the apple. In Singapore, with the PAP as the government, we have such gross injustices against the people.

I thought employment agency gets their remuneration from the hiring company? Why is the girl paying the agency?

I concur with this as well, when I graduated in 93 from NP, the starting was only 1.4K to 1.5K (General Degree grads get abt 1.7-1.8K). Wow, salary has not increased in this respect but inflation def has!! How to survive in terms of such "real income" ?!

If this is true, your company should report this particular employment agency to the authority. How can this happen? Receiving a cut of her pay and not paying CPF?

How can we allow this kind of thuggish employer to take roots?
