foreign workers scam
-
DId average singaporeans know why singapore employers like to employ foreigners??
from what i know, eg a zhichar shop that employ china nationals cleaners, counters service staff, get kickbacks for every foreigners they employs. the kickbacks could go up to $1000/workers. That is almost equivalent to 1mth of such foreigners pay. in another workers, these workers get to work for them free for 1 mth.
The so call foreigns workers pay a handsome fee of up to 30000- 50000 RMB to middleman in china to get them working in singapore. with a middleman in singapore, they would arrange jobs, permits to allow them in legally. these middleman fees will be split among china middleman, singapore middleman and the employers alike. that is the incentives these middleman waive at the singapore employers to tempt them should they meet the minimum requirement of singaporean to foreigners ratio.
If the local authority do not seen or failure to address these problems,
singaporeans opportunity to work will not be just the problems of whether our productivity is high, but we also have to pay $$ to employers to employ us should this problem persist.
shame!!

the fees for foreign worker to work in singapore is extraoridinary expensive because there is too many middle man. singapore agent sometimes give shop $ rebate when they sign a worker china side need to make money too. but the govt is doing something alr, there are strict rules and laws to cut down the number of foreign workers. but think back if we do not have foreign workers taking all the tough job like washing, cleaning etc who will do all this, will you be one?

Govt should charge employers $1k per foreign workers. Means if emplyers emplop 5 foreigners, he has to pay govt $5k very month.

Nice one.. with the exception of construction workers and cleaners, I believe these are the two only jobs Singaporeans shun..... =)
For bus drivers.... restaurant staff... retail staff.... nurses, doctors, accountants... all it takes is a higher wage that will attract people to work.... -
yes i do agree with Junyang700 management jobs in restaurant jobs , telemarketing jobs and many more is now being dominated by foreign workers which is quite overboard from my point of view. now on average on every cabin of the mrt you can see 1-2 foreign worker. sigh

Just thought you should know that i think it make matter worst.Govt levies has partly created the problems. I think govt need to look at income withholding tax directly from foreign worker rather than levies.
There are too many middle man when you charge high levies the agent basically eats into workers salary.
Currently sub con to main contractor black market is $500 per head pocket Cash. 10 worker 5K cash pocket. These 5 k will be deducted from worker salary. As such worker get less than 50 bucks a day. maybe as low as $35 - $25 a day.

yes you are right , but that creates a job for the middle man too ! haha
