Hi Guys,

My original story can go here click me

Now i had another problem since my current boss paid my 1.5 notice period to my old company, and now i tendered(give 2 months notice) and my current boss request me to pay back the 1.5 notice period to them and i can leave anytime, but this is unfair since i am not going to pay back and give them 2 month notice already and in the offer letter didn't mention anything regarding the 1.5 buy-over value.

Do i have to pay back that 1.5 notice period buy-over value to them?

Thanks.

Questions on termination of services

Hi Guys,

I have some questions on the terminations of services written in my offer letter.

Few days ago i joined a new company, in this new company my job requires to travel (it's a virtual company,
not required to go office as most time is go to customer site, i only know this on 1st day...).
They bought me out and paid my 1.5 months notice period to my old company, in my offer letter mentioned if i want to resign have to give 2 months notice.

In my offer letter, stated the core business is from 9.00 - 17.30, Mon - Fri.
At 1st day (1/2/2012), from morning 9am i start travel with my boss(follow boss's car) and work till next day(2/2/2012) 7.30am (boss also work till next day...),
that's more than 20 hours and there's no OT, my manager told me there's no OT but will give me 1 days replacement leave.

After that my boss tell me if possible go to another location at 3pm next day(2/2/2012), and again, i worked till 8.30pm .

Then my boss told me i have to go pinang and learn some skill from my senior since senior only worked till end of this month.
My boss told me i will follow my senior, so i think will go pinang buy car/bus, then i checked with my senior,
my senior told me will fetch me and go to pinang by motorbike , are u kiding me? from KL to Pinang to KL by motorbike? plus nid to carry my laptop and bags...

3rd day (3/2/2012) i have tender and send the softcopy of resignation letter(email) to my boss,
after that had a discussion with my boss. In the discussion, my boss told me if i tender i have to give 3 months notice,
i was puzzled because in the offer letter only mention 2 months notice,and that's the only thing i signed,
but why i required to give 3 months notice, so i asked, my boss told me because they bought me out from old company
so i have to work another month for them, so 3 months ( 2 months notice + 1 month buyout from old company), wth?

So my questions is: do i have to give 3 months notice?
Your advices are greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi all, need your help to provide suggestions.

i currently renting 1 room, supposedly rent till end of October, and landlord was holding my 2 month deposit.
suddenly landlord ask me to pay the rental for this month, i told landlord to burn my deposit since landlord was holding my 2 month deposit.
then landlord ask me to pay the rental for this month and next month, and after that will pay me back my deposit.
so i asked why like that? then landlord said need to follow procedure and what if i run away, then water/electricity bill how?
seriously, water/electricity bill will reach RM600? currently in my house only 2 ppl, last month's bill only RM20+ nia.
then in the end landlord told me pay the rental or GTFO immediately (will return the deposit to me) and said i selfish don't want to pay the rental and didn't follow the procedure.....

FYI, i didn't sign the agreement and the person who signed the agreement no longer stay here plus they never get the deposit back also...

so....what should i do?
