Woman challenges probation dismissal in tribunalThe woman joined the company as an audit manager in April 2025 on a six-month probation. When the probation period ended, she was informed that her employment would not be confirmed, with the company citing unsatisfactory performance as the reason. But Tribunal Magistrate Joel Tan said the employer had failed to demonstrate that these ratings accurately reflected her actual performance. The woman, who earned Singapore Dollar 11,500 a month, was entitled to compensation equal to three months’ salary, amounting to Singapore Dollar 34,500, for her lost income. However, because the tribunal can award a maximum of Singapore Dollar 30,000 (around Rs 22 lakh), that was the amount she received.
