I think it will be $430+$80 :).bellethajah:
[quote=\"mgnvr\"]I am curious. If I give my maid 4 days off a week, does this mean I get to deduct from her pay? Or currently paying her $430 without day off. After renewal next year, it will be $430 minus $80?
Just trying to understand the new system. Is my calculation wishful thinking? :roll:
Are you paying the maid 430 now?
If yes, when renewing the contract next year, let's say you increase her salay to 450, then it is 450 per month plus 4 days off.
If you want her to work on her day off, you need to pay her for that day.[/quote]Then it's as good as a $100 increment per mth. -

No, no, taxpayers' money should always go towards looking after our own Singapore citizens FIRST.
With all maids granted a day off by 2015, industry players said there is a need to ramp up social services for such workers.
Ms Tan explained: \"Foreign workers, when they have a day off, they do not have many places to go. So when they congregate in numbers in certain locations of Singapore, it does cause a lot of concern to the people around.
\"This is where I would like the ministry to address this issue of looking into social amenities, support services, places where foreign workers can go to recreate, learn, places where they can pursue healthy activities during their days off.\"

And they even want the gahmen to take good care of the maids during their day off so that they stay out of trouble. And this really irks me. :mad:
I have no objection to having social amenities, support services, etc for foreign workers (including maids). But I too, do not think that MOM (or any gahmen ministry for that matter) should be the one to address this issue.
May I suggest that the various foreign worker advocacy groups build the amenities, organise and fund these activities and support services themselves. They seem to be really influential (to push through a policy with MOM this time), so they should have no problems raising the funds without asking for a slice of the pie from our limited national budget. -

Where to build these amenities? Orchard Road? Our void decks?

Already a teeny group of pple is up in arms over studio apts and eldercare centers being built near their homes. There will be another outcry if they find their common space being invaded by the maids. -
I felt like a 2nd class citizen in my own country, what a sad thing.

Eh.. JB ?

POA Teacher:
Though the new policy will only impact those renewing or new work permits wef Jan 2013, existing maids that will not have renewal until much later date will still compare among peers. For eg. my maid next renewal will be in next July therefore she will definitely compare those who enjoy weekly off day while she doesnt have. I will need to adjust her pay if not she will threaten to change employer.You need to pay her the extra only if YOU want her to work on day off. But you can be sure some employers will misinterpret, and pay even when it's the maid who doesn't want to go out.
Then spoil it for everyone else.
Btw, the weekly day off does not apply to your current contracts. Only for those renewing or new work permits wef 2013. -
oh no! employers better get ready for another bout of sudden illness/accident/death in the maid's family come close to Jan 2013.
(no offense to the real cases but I'm that cynical)
