My helper has gone thru two 6mth medical examination. I dont know why this round (contract expiring in Sep 2021) 6mth medical examination consists of 4 items instead of the usual 2 items. The extra items are HIV and chest X ray.

Is this a new procedure?

I called MOM and was told bec the helper has been in spore for 2 years. MOM counts the duration of helper in spore and not the durarion of helper with the employer.

Hi, just sharing some findings...
I was speaking with the EA about work permit renewal (Indonesian Fdw)

EA does not charge us for the service, & there are only 2 costs:
(1) $35 to MOM
https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/work-permit-for-foreign-domestic-worker/renew-a-work-permit
(2) insurance (depends on the amount to be insured)

EA recommends the renewal ~1 month before the expiry of current contract. & even though EA suggests that a new contract is not necessary, I'd still draft one myself (EA does Not draft on our behalf), so that salary, rest days, job scope, living conditions can be mutually agreed to in order to minimise future miscommunications

Absolutely agree. We shld always hv a contract to cover the duration of service to avoid miscomm. I do however know some EA charges for renewals.

How to redraft the contract? Copy from the current contract and update the dates and pay ?

Film - Overseas


Set in a training centre in the Philippines, Overseas is a behind-the-scenes look at how thousands of Filipino women prepare themselves to become domestic workers abroad. Apart from learning how to carry out household chores, the women perform role-playing exercises that steel them for uncomfortable, potentially humiliating interactions with their future employers.
