Legal advice: Employer wants me to resign, won't fire me

If they won't fire you, they have to pay you.

Seems like you can't lose so leave the worry to them and enjoy the cash and, much as they can pressure you but you, can ignore them - The winning hand.

Fred is right: Do NOT resign or sign anything that you aren’t entirely happy with!
If they don’t fire you, you continue to be employed by them.
Take your time to look for another job!
(By the way, what is PIP?)

Beppi, i’m Just wondering what bars the employer from firing an unwanted employee..

Is it on empathetic grounds not to soil the reputation /records of the employee who presumably had done nothing wrong??

Or is it about a labor law the employer fears to flout ??

Labour law and employee rights are weak in Singapore.
I have no idea what other reason this employer has for their strange course of action. Ask them, not me!

Interestingly Strange !!
This is the second time I’ve read similar incidence on the SG fora

Thanks brethren  💕

It has very basic rules, if employer has to terminate employment of an employee, they have to pay the compensation, provide a valid rationale to MoM and allow employee to serve his notice period unless any breach issue where employee access has to terminate on spot.

But, asking employee to resign means all these possibilities can be avoided by the employer. In this case employer has upper hand as it can bring any clause into effect based on the offer letter and revoke the work pass.
True, there are many errant employers in the market who does by knowing the loophole of the system.

@Surya
Tis Good to make known of such basic rule
