Yes, from the limited information given, I suppose the contract is valid.
Its a bit strange though.....the party which activates the premature termination is the one who usually bears the penalty. How come in your case, you have to pay them even if they terminate your contract?
In that case they can take advantage of you. Employ you for 3 months, then fire you. Then you have to give them back the 3 months salary. ie. they just got 3 months free labour from you! -

I guess the financially sensible thing to do is just to hang on till the end of the contract. Yeah, but I understand that sometimes it gets too hard and we have to exchange money for happiness. The decision will be yours alone, I guess.....because only you will know how you feel.Originally posted by simpleger24:they have no notice period 1... 2 yr contract any point of time u wanna quit or they dun 1 u, u have 2 pay 3mths pay... even if u r sick have 2 quit due to illness also have 2 pay
As far as I know, this is a very unfair and unusual contract. In the future, please be careful when signing any long-term commitment or financial contracts. Just remember that in most cases, you're not obliged to sign it there and then. You can bring the contract back to ask for the opinions of your family and friends first. -
Basically, IF it is in the terms and conditions in the contract, AND you signed it, THEN you and bound by it loh...simple.
So go and check back the form you signed or go HR to check loh... -
judging from the 2 post that u have posted...
i believe your Truthly live up to ur name as the simpleger...
regardless of how long u work....you are not at any advantage at all
what u sign. is the same as an agreement to let them officially employ you but giving you no choice but to be at the mercy without even giving you the basic rights of a job requirement.
congrats, you have sign a contract to hell..
god bless you..Originally posted by simpleger24:i signed a 2 yr contract wt my company, but i not happy wt the company, but if i wanna quit i have 2 gif 3mths pay, or either way if they wanna terminate me, i have 2 pay also. is this contract vali/d??Originally posted by simpleger24:they have no notice period 1... 2 yr contract any point of time u wanna quit or they dun 1 u, u have 2 pay 3mths pay... even if u r sick have 2 quit due to illness also have 2 pay -
got such a contract one ah?
like that, u really lugi leh... if they dun require ur service anymore, they can get 3 mths pay out of u... -
are you sure?
why did you sign such a contract? if they initiate the termination they have to pay you, not the other way round. -
well, you can also go to the relevant authorities like employee dunno what union or association to see if you can rescind the contract.
Or go to court, but then more expensive loh...
Else, although they put there, they may not act on the terms also can.
You can also puay with the HR or your boss to ask if you want to quit, can they not act on the terms there. Sometimes, they are kind enough not to ask you to pay...it all depends. -
ther is 1 who leave on the spot yesterday, she say they terminated her, and she have to pay the 3 k.... that jialat...... ya lah very lugi leh.... they dun 1 ppl also have 2 pay leh.... not under any union leh

contract jobs are getting more and more common nowadays. some employers are certaining playing it to their advantage as many people are desperate for jobs.
be careful what you sign because a contract is legal binding.
obviously your employer is cheating on all of you. like someone said he just needs to terminate you after 3 months and you actually worked for nothing.
you cant play truant because the same thing happens if he sacks you.
why dont you check it out with small tribunal claims?
forget about unions and lawyers. you obviously cant afford and you wont get anything positive from them. -
wat their webbie??

The contract will Not be legally binding IF it contradicts the Employer's Act, Workers Act or Employee's Act or something.Originally posted by dragg:contract jobs are getting more and more common nowadays. some employers are certaining playing it to their advantage as many people are desperate for jobs.

But then, i believe ONLY permanent not contract workers and workers under certain fields are under these acts, which actually protects the employees.
Small Claims Tribunal is a good try for it. -
