SINGAPORE: A man recently took to social media to share that his previous company offered him a contract position at half his former salary after he was laid off.
As a result, the HR informed him that his role was now redundant, as there were no available positions for an Executive Assistant. But after looking into it further, their management must have realized his job was still needed. So, they started hiring again and suddenly brought back his position. One netizen added, “According to labor law, both parties can terminate an employment by providing notice or notice in lieu. So no. Being overpaid is not a protected element from unfair termination.
“And be honest with yourself, you would not have taken that deal. You would have been furious. It’s only now that you are desperate and haven’t managed to find anything else that you will consider it.”
