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

Ladies
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.

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.

LC

Yes, am using small packaging boxes etc for thrash too. In this way, I reduce the use of plastic bags

If the amt is more than $50 (?), then cpf contribution kicks in. Why no cpf contributions for the interns?
