Agree with bigsnoopy but it may be because its Myanmar maid. It’s good that we share. At least as employers we must be well informed.

Now both Indonesian and Philip maids cost the same. There is also no more FREE replacement now. If yr maid is a wrong fit and you want to transfer her out, employer need to pay for new maid. Agencies are NOT allowed to add 2 months loan onto transfer maid. If discovered the embassy will bar them from supplying anymore maids. The rules has changed.

Hi,when did this regulation come about? If I had signed the contract with the maid agency in Dec last year and it promised free replacement, can I still get my replacement for free? Need your help. Thanks.

Hi sweetjoy, you may wish to check with yr agency instead. We can’t advise you because we do not know the contents in the contract. Technically since you sign the contract last year, you shouldn’t be affected unless the agency choose not to honour their word. Or they may want to honour but can’t get the supply in for you. They may encourage u to choose another nationality. So to be sure it’s best you read the contract again and check with yr agent.

I m just wondering if you signed last year, that means the maid is with you for close to one year? Why would u want to change? Do u know my maid has been throwing away my food and I m still keeping her? Supply is very low now. Alot of maid are waiting to come in next year so that they can enjoy 4 off days. You may wish to think about it thoroughly. If the challenges are not that great, try talking to yr maid on every pay day until it gets in.

Ya Sweet joy usually agency only promised free one year replacement… If you signed in Dec the contract is going to expire in one month time. Which is to say if u got a free replacement now the contract is still going to expire in dec this year… So if the new maid give you problem you have to pay agency fee again before the agency will settle for you…

If they are going out on every week, do they have money to go out especially for the 1st month? Employer do take note that you are advise to pay according to the payment schedule given by agency. Dont advance payment as we did the other time n create unnecessary issues.

I wonder... if they have no money to go out and request to stay home, do I need to pay her money? and of course, I will make sure she dont do anything

Not sure when did you sign your contract, my contract was signed in April 2012.

SG Agent have no choice as the Indonesia agents have started their NEW rules - new FDW do not get loan in SG, you have to give your new FDW FULL salary now; as for off day every week starts from 1 Jan 2013.

If the maid don’t go out during rest day, them employer has to compensate with additional $$ for that day.but, if the maid insists to go out even without money, employer has the right not to give any money to them coz we followed the payment schedule.
