Just KPO..

Anyway, better not judge a book by its cover... Once I was on a non-stop business class seat to LA on SQ. Just sitting infront of me was a group of Indians. Young children ranging from maybe teens to say 5 years old. Another row infront of them as well as at the side (i.e. the window seats) were some adults including one Chinese lady. I initially thought that the Chinese lady must be their mother, and another Indian lady (although dressed quite appropriately, but her look and her hair...) must be a helper, cos' the Chinese lady was teaching the Indian lady how to use certain seat functions, etc. Also, the Indian lady had a lot of barang barang for the kids. I thought to myself, wow... this is one lucky maid to be on a non-stop business class all the way to LA. Only mid-way through the journey, I came to the conclusion that the Chinese lady is definitely not the mother... and most probably the Indian lady is the mother, but definitely not the helper...

just to check, my maid has found a new employer, who had taken the necessary documents (wp, passport, and the release consent form which i have signed) to process for transfer next mth. on my part, anything else i need to do? the work permit and levy will be automatically cancelled when the new employer’s agency applies for the new work permit??

Nope. Don't need to do anything. Agency will usually handle. That's what happened with my last maid, but I told agency and maid to settle within 2 weeks, (cos I didn't want maid to be fussy and levy to continue to run at my expense) otherwise, I will cancel work permit and send maid home.

for maids who have served u well in the past for a number of years but whose performance has deteriorated and u are sending them off, or even for maids who were sent off with 1hr notice, do u employers still pay them their salary + some extra amt, or just the exact amt of salary due to them??

salary definitely. I won't shortchange them. It all depends on their attitude in the last days. If they are all right, I will give extra; if they give me high blood pressure, I will not.

[peapot]

Yes, same here. Even with my ex-myanmmar maid from he’ll I also pay till her last day. You must remember that maid’s with lousy attitude do not any proof at all. Because only we will know, MOM will not know. But if we don’t pay them, it will become our fault.
