A polytechnic student who claims they got tricked into signing a contract with a company as a freelancer and not as a part-timer asked if there was anything that could be done.
However, the student wrote: “i did not know the difference between contract of service and contract for service”. Only after signing the contract did the student’s boss say that they had joined as a freelancer and not a part-timer. Because of this, the student wrote, they did not have Central Provident Fund contributions from the company and were not entitled to any leave either.
“I have attended a few interviews where they will tell me they will get back to me but won’t get back. Some Low balled me and [due] to my current financial situation I will be agreeing to what they are offering but yet they won’t select me”, he wrote.
