Viceroymenthol 6th Gear August 30, 2012 Share August 30, 2012 Well i can't afford to pay 180k worth of medical fees. The pte medisave medishield plans don't cover pregnancy at all anyway. I'm not sure about those private medical claims plans but i doubt so as well. My wife's company medical did cover a portion. That's one of the perks of working for global MNC, banks ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic August 30, 2012 Share August 30, 2012 (edited) This is post recent salary revision (gross) in 2012, Houseman from 2.4k -> 3k MO/Resident from 3.6k onwards --> 4.2k onwards Reg is about 5-6k gross For some divisions, eg. polyclinics, the additional revision is considered an allowance, so not included during bonus time Haha if u are resident in popular specialties such as Orthopaedics or paedatrics, u have to pay an allowance of 450/mth back to them. If u take up a highly unpopular specialty, then its the opposite. Edited August 30, 2012 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training privilege It was to incentivise people to choose less popular specialties. But idiotic policy Usually only have 1 bonus. Not directly follow civil service which has the govt and the performance bonus. Past few years during the good times, it's about 3mths + (inclusive of AWS) Houseman -> Resident/MO automatic after 1 yr provided no issues Right now, they are changing training programs so it's bit complicated. Resident senior years will replace the old registrars system. Roughly most programs now is about 6 years before u can become an associate consultant. That's if u pass all the requisite exams. If u are not within the training programme, u either henta kaki doing sai gang or if u dun want to join the rat race and want to remain in public sector, u can join as a perm staff (depending on whether the dept needs such people) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
