Court ruled that the employee breached her employment agreement by moonlighting
A corporate secretary who moonlighted for a rival firm while still employed has been ordered to pay her former employer S$14,683.33 in damages, after the Singapore District Court found that her actions were in breach of her employment contract.
District Judge Teo Guan Kee found that Wong Suet Mei Michelle had breached her employment agreement with Korporatio Sing Pte. Ltd. by working for a rival firm, Xion AI Pte. Ltd., without her employer's knowledge or consent. Her dismissal without notice on 16 October 2023 was upheld as lawful.
Wong was employed by Korporatio Sing from January 2022 under a written contract of service to provide corporate secretarial services to the firm's clients, including appointments as a local director and company secretary.
But from June 2022, she began providing services to Xion AI, a competing corporate secretarial firm which she herself acknowledged operated in the "same category" as Korporatio Sing.
Using her Singpass credentials, she carried out 811 transactions on ACRA's filing system on Xion's behalf and was named as director or company secretary for 86 companies that were not Korporatio Sing's clients.
She also issued 18 invoices to Xion between June 2022 and April 2023, charging amounts ranging from S$400 to S$3,500 for services including the provision of a named Qualified Individual and nominee directorships.
