how come u never sign a contract? It's the most important thing. Coz they can even don't pay u or they can claim that you're not in their company, you're just temp staff. That's a huge mistake. I doubt MOM can help u in this case.
It's a lesson to everyone. No matter how 'lazy' they are, must always push them for the contract. Is there even a letter of offer?

then it's actually a dismissal. They prob just used that to avoid paying the maternity benefits. Do u have any written proof at all that you're perm staff?

go and dig out any evidence u can find that can prove that you're perm staff and not temp staff.
CPF payment is not counted coz even temp staff gets CPF benefits.
Are u told to leave immediately? If so, they still have to pay u 1mth for notice period.
Just try with MOM, altho i doubt they can help u if u can't provide proof that you're perm staff. If you can prove it, then the next step is to show that it's actually dismissal without cause and not retrenchment and they'll have to pay your your maternity benefits. Esp since you're the only one told to leave. That should be easy to prove.

payslip not counted coz even temp staff gets payslip. They can easily twist their words since it's all verbal.
At least make sure u get the 1 mth notice pay. Don't let them get away with it so easily. It's a very expensive lesson.

i think very hard to fight liao ley.. esp you still under probation.. i suggest go n find your MP first then see what they can say abt ur case... sometimes MP v powerful de. find out who is ur MP n go to them for help...
but ur case v hard lar coz u got no contract also. they can just say that you are a temp n all that nonsense.. headache..
mashy:
they did a chest xray, ENT scope down nose and throat, check her tummy and liver, CT brain scan. blood scan... in fact alot of stuff...
so now i have to monitor again. Dr says if this time got 2 episodes of vomitting blood, then must rush her immediately to A&E so they will sedate her and scope her tummy and watever not....

Must be hard on you... take care!

reira,
i tink u shld call MOM to ask for their advice...see wat they say...no matter wat muz try to fight for it
meanwhile u muz keep all ur payslips, cpf statement or watever doc that can prove that u r employed
what i extract fr MOM websites:
Employee on fixed-term contract/temporary/part-time basis
An employee on fixed term contract, temporary and part-time employment is entitled to 12 weeks of maternity leave, if she satisfies the eligibility conditions under the Employment Act or 16 weeks of maternity leave, if she satisfies the eligibility conditions under the Children Development Co-Savings Act. If she is eligible for paid maternity leave, she will be paid at the gross rate for each day that she would normally have been required to work under her contract of service.
Employee on probation
It does not matter that an employee is on probation, as long as the employee has worked for the employer for at least 90 days before the birth of the child and meets the other eligibility criteria for maternity leave under the Employment Act or the Children Development Co-Savings Act.
Disputes
In the case of a dispute, the employee should first speak with the employer to understand the reason for dismissal. If she thinks that she has been unfairly dismissed, the employee can:
* Seek the union's help (if she is a union member);
* Seek legal help; or
* Submit an appeal to the Minister for Manpower within two months after the child's birth.
Employee's Obligations applies to employees under Employment Act or Child Development Co-Savings Act.

Thanks, sorry to trouble you.

SL, precious, sharon
Thanks I will call them tomorrow and check what they say. Actually I am not that super upset cos my hubby is understanding and he said he can afford to feed me.
Haha Problem is myself. a bit sian no job no income... I don't really like to spend even hubby's money while I can work (not as if I am having a hard pregnancy). Ofcourse if taking care of baby, then thats different story. But lucky I still got some savings left can spend on myself. *_*

sharon, haha yeah. just have to pity him cos i think he might "get it" from his mom. but i got a printout email about those korean people asking me to leave. so can show it to his mom's face.

sl: thanks. Yeah super tired coz got this ang moh kid warded ydae. Super selfish and noisy. E entire ward can't sleep too. Too bad all a1 ward were occupied. They even turn up e aircon to 30 degrees. This morning, a boy and my girl who were okay were sent home. E other patient was sent to another room. Sigh.
kiki
Coz they can't find what is wrong w her despite e tests done. And all results are normal. They felt that too much was done on her this time. Coz e drip, xray, blood test, urine test, scope down her both nostrils and throat. And nothing was found. No weird growth or wat.
plus e blood she vomited was fresh and bright red so they did not think it was prob w her tummy as the blood would most likely to be dark and have clots. She also did not appear to have jaundice and blood test indicate normal levels so they ruled out liver prob. Thus they say to monitor since she did not vomit anymore. But if she throws up again, and more than 2 times, they will do e gastro scope and ent says 1time vomit and they will wan to check her immediately. This is e 6th time she is warded for vomiting blood. Last few times, we go tmc where only blood test was done. They blame on my breast milk, formula milk, even soy milk. But this time kkh ruled milk out. So i can only monitor my girl now. Have to keep all e shirts which she vomit blood on so they can check and evaluate. All dr are super puzzled.

Hi everyone
Good morning!
Reira: hope your gal gets well soon, did u try to get a 2nd opinion from other docs from elsewhere?
Taslyn: It's gd to call up MOM to ask...in case u r really entitled to some retrenchments benefits, dun lu-gee...shd make the company pay for their actions.
Anyway, u can rest at home these few months and embark in some extensive pre-natal bb course..everyday, talk to your bb.
I went robinson sales too, bought a blanket, and 2 packs of disposable panties. Very crowded, long queue at children's section. I dun intend to buy steriliser, just use boiling water to boil. The nanny I have engaged, also use boiling method. If i buy a steriliser, end up i need to buy 2 sets, one to put at my house, another one to put at nanny 'hse. Like that, very damaging to my purse...heehee

sorry to hear yr retenchment but it may be a blessng in disguise, can spend time to shop more and read up on bb care & bond better with bb.
but in meantime can try to fight for yr benefits - more benefits means more money for bb.
re: cancelation of classes
babyS
yeah, KKH said it's due to the alert for the swine flu - expecting it to get worse, hence to pre-empt, they cancell all classes. I think it's a pretty drastic move. - wondering whether i shd sign up else where...cos i think the classes are quite useful - what do u gals think?
Any first time mum to be here NOT taking any ante natal class?
Re: baby fair at expo & other sales
There's a advert for the fair with some products listed in today's newspaper
there's a metro sale at epxo with some baby stuff as well
BHG, & OG also having labor day sales.
