Answer: You can work full time on a dependent's pass. Your employer applies to the Ministry of Manpower for a "Letter of Consent" on your behalf. Just a form to fill in and send in with details of your employment, your cv, previous work references etc. This letter of consent applies only for that job, so if you change employers you need a new LOC.

Question : My partner has just found work here and starts soon.  We have been together for some time but are not married.  Does the Singapore government recognise this kind of de-facto relationship and can I therefore obtain a dependent's pass ?

Answer: No, you can't - you can only apply for a dependent's pass when you're married. However, you can apply for a long term social visit pass (valid for 6 months). For this you need to obtain a letter from your Embassy stating that you have been living in a de facto relationship.
