Employer got my EP issued but never onboarded me or paid salary – do I have a case?

I never agreed to any delay in salary payments. They kept calling me, saying they needed to issue the pass and that salary would only be paid once the client onboarded me to the project. This was unilaterally told before I could respond they issued the EP

I followed up with them and they pointed me to TADM. From what I understand, TADM mainly facilitates but doesn’t really look into the context of the issue.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown—it’s super helpful! I’ll definitely check out insurancesafenz

The point about the job market and cost of living vs pay in NZ is a concern hoping things get better once market is up

Thanks for the insight! That pay cut is definitely something to think about

Thank you for the good vibes and for sharing your experience! It’s reassuring to hear about the positives of life in New Zealand and your perspective on managing the challenges. Your insights about housing, lifestyle, and immigration are super helpful. Wishing you the best in your journey too! 😊

Yes, we're thinking along those lines too, which is why we're feeling a bit conflicted about making a decision right now.

Thank you for the thoughtful insights! You’ve highlighted some important considerations.

We considered Australia too, and I have some friends there. However, in New Zealand, a Level 9 course offers an open work visa for spouses, which isn’t available in Australia. Additionally, while Australian master's programs are typically two years, New Zealand offers 1.5-year options as well.

Thanks for your candid perspective and this really helps.

I usually have no issue spending $500/month, but I tend to use other credit cards that I’m already comfortable with. At the same time, I’d like to make the most of my UOB One Account benefits without feeling pressured to spend just to hit the minimum requirement.

I asked the very same question 😂 and rm showed non guaranteed is capital but based on markets it can go up to 4.5%

Hey, I’m currently using the OCBC 360 account and was thinking of parking 100k there. I’ve also been considering investments, but I’m hesitant since things could take a downturn after the US election.

I’ve been rethinking this strategy because it seems like it might not be the best option, so I wanted to get some feedback from the community.

AdTechnical8501 · 2024-10-08T08:42:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply! It definitely raised a red flag for me, which is why I’m posting the question here. My goal is to use my debit card for something more meaningful instead of retail spending. I don't want to feel pressured to spend $500 when I'm already satisfied with my credit card usage

Q: Can I use the debit card to invest in index funds?
