The Work Injury Compensation Act is meant to provide a simplified route for work injury claims. What's the reality like, post 2019 when MOM delegated the processing of claims to insurance companies?
For several days, despite intervention by MOM, a worker had nowhere to sleep after he was turfed out of this dorm. Even when this was resolved, the issue of meals became a bone of contention.
Rari Sumon's story indicates that several laws could have been broken. The shocking thing is that among the actors were MOM officers.
A well-educated guy got a job as a Construction Site Supervisor. The first day on the job, he was astonished what he was asked to do. An anatomy of a scam.
When the law says an employer is responsible for providing food, yet the food is not culturally appropriate, can MOM require the employer to provide a meal allowance instead?
It's not often we see a client from Northwestern India. We seize the opportunity to profile his experience in Singapore. Unfortunately, his story is similar to that of many other workers.
A worker comes by our free meals station. Another career wrecked by the unexpected? No, the opposite. He brings good news and joy.
Lately, TWC2 has been receiving more and more complaints from workers that they were issued IPAs for jobs they had not agreed to. We help them get the IPAs cancelled.
After six months of unsuccessful mediation, a worker's salary claim is referred to the Employment Claims Tribunal. He is shocked when the claims calculations prepared by MOM's TADM unit is rejected as wrong.
Dul comes to TWC2 with a multi-layered problem. He tells us how he was recruited and what happened soon after he started working for the employer. But is there a solution?
