          just wonder how many of you allow your maids who have completed their 2 years contact and extended for another 2 years to take yearly paid home leave ?

            Shawn,

            If there is any affirmative reply, it’s one rare case.

              The reason I am asking if forum people allow their maids annual home paid leave cos just want to understand is it based on exceptional performance of the maid and hence, the employers give this benefit.


              Esteema - do u allow them to go back yearly ? lol

                  I do not.

                  I’ve shared in earlier posting in reply - Sporeans families do not typically offer yearly paid leave. Those who provides are usually families taking long holidays to visit relatives in M’sia, long holidays or expat families. These had caused problems for Sporean families when maids shared & compared on their off-days, esp to families who cannot afford to hv them go every year. In fact, one of frd’s maid was offered that but when they hit back Indo maid never returned & they had to grabble with their own housekeeping & washing before they hire a replacement.

                  Pls refer to the MOM provisions for hiring FDW. You’re obliged to provide a 14 days home leave for every 2 year contract, provided the FDW willing to take the equivalent of air-fare in cash. Best eyers take written consent to avoid any disputes.

                      This is good move to alleviate the elderly’s needs for financial support to homecare.

                      But I think not many KSP families will benefit due to means testing - salary, size of housing, etc

                        Hi Esteema,


                        I read through MOM’s website but can’t find anything about providing FDW 14 days home leave for completion EVERY 2 year contract. Are you able to direct me to the link please ?

                        Thank you.
