More than 100 employees of hospitality group Tipsy Collective who were affected by delayed October salary payments received all dues by December, after fresh investor funding ensured timely payouts and full Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions. The employees, who were supposed to receive their October salaries on Nov 5, initially received partial payments a few days late. They were fully paid by mid-November after four shareholders injected an undisclosed amount of money to rescue the business. The funds were also used to pay the CPF owed to the employees for September and October. With fresh funds injected, the company managed to pay salaries on time along with full CPF contributions on Dec 5. The home-grown food and beverage operator has been grappling with legal disputes and financial instability. It has closed two bars and one restaurant since October. The workers were redeployed to the company’s remaining seven outlets, a spokesman said.
SINGAPORE - Just one month into his new job, an assistant vice-president at OCBC Bank began abusing the access his job gave him and started looking through the account balances and other details of bank customers, including Singaporean politicians, influencers, his colleagues, friends and family members. Au Jia Hao, who also goes by Ou Jiahao, 39, was jailed for 10 weeks on Jan 3, after he pleaded guilty to one charge of unauthorised access to computer material. Au illegally accessed the banking details of 369 OCBC customers over eight months, from Nov 8, 2022, to July 31, 2023. The court heard he was employed as an assistant vice-president of OCBC's Global Commercial Banking division on Oct 12, 2022, and was given access to OCBC's banking system as part of his job scope. But he soon began to abuse his access by pulling up the names, NRIC numbers, dates of birth, addresses, contact numbers, account balances, and education and employment histories of profiles he had no business looking at. He did not disclose the information to any third party, and claimed to have illegally accessed the information out of curiosity and stress from work.
