Earning extra income during NS
-
Hi, does anyone know any part-time jobs that one can take up during serving national service. i am currently a private in the service side, in camp from 8-5 mon - fri but i reckon that the army pay is less due to additional transport fees, food, etc. So wonder if anyone can recommend any jobs without contracts and flexible timings over the weekend, the pay doesn't have to be high as long as i have some extra income, it would be great. thanks

The usual conditions is that NS duties comes first.Originally posted by 123xyz:Hi, does anyone know any part-time jobs that one can take up during serving national service. i am currently a private in the service side, in camp from 8-5 mon - fri but i reckon that the army pay is less due to additional transport fees, food, etc. So wonder if anyone can recommend any jobs without contracts and flexible timings over the weekend, the pay doesn't have to be high as long as i have some extra income, it would be great. thanks
Anyway to answer your question, i have known my men to be insurance agents, tuition teachers, part time salesman, freelancing (web designing, etc)
If you notice these jobs don't require you to be in any payroll, so as long you don't end up in a company's payroll, you are more or less unlimited to what you can work. -
But i tink they want to see your PINK IC 1st lor!?

Try to get permission from your boss, these days, they are quite alright with it.Originally posted by Ponders:SAF official poilcy is NSF are discouraged to work outside their NS duties.

Yes.Freelancing is "alright" as long as it doesn't infringe on your duties and doesn't affect your work in camp.
Some are even encouraged to find work by well-meaning superiors.You can take up photography too, on weekends.
But make sure you are not working on a payroll and you don't get caught. -
Can, but don't get caught. If you are going to request for time off or leave to settle matters pertaining to your extra curricular work outside. You can jolly forget about getting the green light.

just make sure that your whatever duties especially guard duties, don't crash with your part-time work. guard duties comes 1st, no matter what.
