South Korean convenience store chain Emart24 Singapore is under probe for allegedly not paying its employees their wages. Responding to queries on April 12, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM) in a joint statement said TADM received claims for unpaid salaries from 15 former Emart24 Singapore employees.
