      anyone can advise how is employers protected against \"runaway maid\"? i had a maid who worked for me just 1 week, then just run to embassy 1 early morning, with the housekey dangling from the lock on the gate...

      reason given by her to the embassy is that she wanted to change employer... that's it... so now, she sitting at the agency waiting for new employer... what compensation can I get from the maid agency? other than a free replacement??
      What nationality? Silly girl...

          Is your maid Filo? Sorry for employers! No protection & insurance coverage for ran away maid.

          Mine ran to embassy without locking my door, gate & close all windows. My whole laminated floor was flooded with rain water from 9am-9pm & I have to change most for the flooring under my own cost as this is not covered by insurance. Luckily i stayed in corner unit at pt block, otherwise I cannot image what will happened after leaving door easily access to public for 12hrs!

          Maid is doing this because they know MOM will protect them on human rights & 99% break away from loan & contract bonds. MOM is aware of this issue but they cannot return maid to you if maid refuse to work for you. For my case, MOM asked if I am willing to transfer her & I said \"NO\" because by doing this I will not get my outstanding loan back. However after one week, I was informed by letter that her work permit was cancelled by MOM & being tranferred with temp permit to another employer. Thus I'm in a situation that I have to chase after maid agency on my outstanding money like loan shark as MOM mentioned that loan is not under their care.

                  Dear Moderators,


                  I find so many threads for maid related issues. Will it be possible to merge these threads into one?

                  Thank you.

                    hi chilram,

                    mine that run away was indo.. yes now all maids are very well informed, they know they can go to MOM or embassy if they are unhappy with their employers..
                    u can get another replacement maid whereby the outstanding loan will be passed over to her... this is what my agency practised...was this stated in the contract?
