  Those clinic assistants, who work in private clinics, how much roughly is their salary?
  
  I see their working hours are quite weird. 9am to 12pm, 2pm to 4pm, 7pm tp 9pm.
  
  In between they got long breaks. Do they still get paid when they are not working like in between from 12pm to 2pm and 4pm to 7pm?

  Performance bonus.
  
  pay increment after semi-annual reviews.
  
  Medical beneifits.. hmm.. i guess if you get heart attack in the clinic.. a doctor is there right away... that's the benefit.

  Clinic Assistants in Singapore is still considered a clerical job... to date there is no official course of studies specially for clinical assistants.
