I know someone who worked 41 years in SP. When the person reached 62, there was plain denial of re-hire despite having got to that position thru good performance and promotions. There was even a long service award by the Minister MOE. However the director of library is such a arsehole that a few years before reaching 62, she orchestrated a series of events to tar her performance appraisals such that a re-employment became difficult if not impossible!! Upon appeal to SP principal and MOM a re-employment contract for 2 years was reluctantly offered .... on condition that the incumbent met up with the director (library)!!! Though doing the same job at same position, pay was cut some 35%, leave reduced almost 80% and medical benefits shrunk considerably. The re-hire contract was shafted down the director's rear end.
So what was Amy Khor talking about when she said most took up the re-hire with no cut in pay ...(& presumbably benefits????). Clearly the re-hire policy as mooted by PSC and NTuc stinks and govt is now doing damage control and back paddling!!!!!!!! Why was there a need to drastically cut pay and perks after crossing the 62 years line????????????? Did't LKY worked till 91 without pay or perk cut???
