SINGAPORE: The Manpower Ministry (MOM) recovered about S$800,000 in claims on behalf of 750 workers between January and April this year.
MOM's Labour Court heard around 490 cases, some of which involved employers not paying salaries in lieu of termination notices and unauthorised salary deductions.
86 per cent of cases were heard and concluded by the Labour Court within two weeks from the first hearing.
MOM advises workers to refer to their obligations and rights in their employment contracts and the Employment Act.
Workers can make an e-appointment through the MOM website or call 6438-5122.
