      will invite them over for a small farewell party

        Hi moonee,


        so is a must that i have to send her to back to philippines first?
        hmmm, then its a waste of time and money for her.
        i was thinking i can cancel her WP 3 days before she fly and i can provide the flight details to trinidad
        i assume i will be discharge on the security bond once she is out of singapore (no matter which country she fly to)?
        Yup, i agree u should contact MOM since they set the rules, perhaps some exceptions could be made.
        My agent had an employer that sent her Indon maid to batam, she met with a bike accident and even tho all documents were cancelled, the Indon embassy contacted the employer. Ur maid may have relatives waiting for her and she may not have told them about Trinidad so if they are waiting and she does not return home, they can hold u responsible for sending her to another county and lodge a complain to their embassy, anyway U have to protect urself too.
        i suggest u check ur contract and with MOM too.

              They are no big deal, actually really depends on whether she has worked for a proper hse cos alot go in as maids and run away, they know where to run to and work in shops or salons till they have money. Kind of dirty too, their salary should not be higher especially frm mddle east.

                My current maid used to work in middle east before coming to singapore.

                it is really up to each indivdual, she’s a fast learner by nature
                but i suppose her experiences from working overseas makes her pick things up faster and also smarter.
                but now she is moving to other country in dec after working 4 yrs for me.
                ultimately,what they need and deem important tto them is higher pay to support their family.

                      Hi POA teacher, not all goes for monetary

                      some choose to stay for various, such as used to the current employers who are nice to them, unsure of the future …
                      taking the first step out to work in a foreign country and living in stranger house takes a lot of guts and courage
                      if the pay does not differ a lot, i think my maid will chose to stay behind.
                      but to each his own, i hope and wish all goes well for her

                        Hi sailor,

                        my sil maid is also getting abt that amount, she has been with them for abt 6 yrs
                        i think it's reasonable
