        Hi Carol, hope you get a good maid this time. I would rather stay away from Transfer maids,sometimes just to get rid of them ,employers can give very good reasoning.

          During day off the 1st thing is to bitch abt employer and these next is to talki about transfer. Told my maid, since u already paid all the loans there will be no transfer, only return home. After that never mention about transfer anymore.

            Just curious...is that a myanmar maid get pregnant with her myanmar boyfriend/husband in singapore and then get married in Singapore while she is here on maid work permit? Is that allowed?

              There is no such thing, According to MOM , maid under work permit cannot be married here. If she is pregnant, she will be repatriated.

                Can anyone share how much increment do you give to your maid if you renew the contract with her.?


                Is it 10%, 20% or more?

                Mine is asking for 20%.

                Ours is ok relationship as long as she do her work (we close one eye) and not give us problems.

                She prefers to stay with us. So the increment part, I am unsure how much to give her cos I was thinking more of 10-15%.

                  20%? No, I won’t.

                  10% would be more like it.

                    It depends also on what her current salary is.

                      One of my friends gave $20 increase after the first 2 years… Her maid is the diligent and well behaved type… What’s the normal increment?

                        Thanks for the replies.


                        Mine is getting $500 with every Sunday off.

                        I am just surprised by the 20% she asked for, my prefer range is 10-15%. I will have a chat with her and see if we can agree on a sum both are happy with.

                        Most people I know usually give $50 more.
