janet88,


That is strange on the intern part. I remembered my cousin was being paid when he was studying at SP. Being paid by the company and not by SP. The amount was not great, enough for monthly bus fare and food. He did not complained then but was happy for the exposure. Worked in the chemical laboratory. At the end of 3 months, my cousin was being paid bonus as the company rewarded him for being initiative as he worked OT without being asked to do so.

Dd did an internship in a bubble tea shop early this year and she was paid, it is gd to be clear and sure if interns will be paid or not. If yes, how much.
Dd hurt her hand and the claim of medical expenses is taking ages to settle.
She learnt that earning money is not easy at all.

earning money is not easy....it's good for youngsters to learn this.
I managed to secure a pay for him and an email confirming that...but now SP finance is trying to be funny.

Agreed with LC; usually the company will pay the interns, enough to cover a simple lunch and public transport.

Am thinking how to reduce my rubbish generated and my usage of plastic bag to lin the kitchen bin.
I try to do massive peeling of skin for say potatoes, winter melon at one go.

Because I cook almost everyday, I need 1 plastic bag for wet thrash daily. The plastic bag for dry rubbish will be used for few days.

[MrsKiasu]

Yeah from what I understand my friend’s co also pay the interns de…

I cook almost daily too.
Is your plastic bag of wet thrash filled or half filled? If little wet thrash, can consider using a small plastic bag

[laughingcat]

Very strange for SP to act otherwise. Because under the Employment Act, interns must be paid at least once a month.

[starlight1968sg]

I think the allowance given to interns doesn’t hv cpf contributions. This is something which I can’t understand.

I have problem managing the wet trash bag. Did not buy small trash bag and so I always re-use the NTUC bags. 1 trash bag for wet trash on daily basis.

dry trash bag sometime can last 1 week. Sometime don’t even have dry trash bag if I have an empty box of cereal box for discard or sometime use the veg bag for dry trash bag.

star, you are right. no cpf for intern.
