Anyone tried ? Thanks.

I came across this site while doing my \"research\", I believe it'll be helpful to you:
http://bringmethere.net/2012/05/how-to-apply-for-filipino-maid-home-leave-diy/

For me, I've gone ahead & asked my agent to do it for me…as, the Phil Embassy website says that \"eligible\" employers (to DIY) are the ones whose maid has worked with them for 2 yrs.

Strange rule… but anyways….

And, my maid will also come back 1 day before us (from our holiday). So, I'll just pass her our house keys, & she'll come back on her own. Probably just give some cash for her to take a cab home.

Hope that helps

Hi all,


I decided to do the OEC (home leave) myself. Can anyone who done it themselves, share with me how is the procedure ?
I understand need to make an appointment online. Then what is expected on the 1st appointment ? Must the maid go or employer go ?

Another question is, we intend to go holiday when the maid is away.when the maid back in Singapore, can she go home herself or employer must fetch ? As she will come back one day before me.

Thanks.

Thanks mummies for replying.


My maid has completed her 2 years contract by end Aug'13. She is now in new contract but I have not nego the new salary & she has never asked.
I checked with the agent, the current market rate is $500 + $80 (off day). Her old rate is $420. Need your input on if current market rate $500 is correct ? Thanks.

She agrees to go back in December for her break and come back to work with me again. I had renewed her work permit & checked her passport validitiy.

[quote=\"lovingbabymama\"]Hi all,

I want to renew my maid who has been with me for 2 years. Can I know :
1) is there new minimum salary that I need to pay for Phil maid. Her previous contract amount is $420.
2) I will let her go back for 2 weeks in December. Do I need to pay her salary for the 2 weeks ?
3) any other things to note ? Thanks.

1) I think its negotiable but gd to check the market rate.
2) I think you need to check the contract. Typically, I think after end of 2 yrs you need to pay a bonus.
3) Better to ask a few agents to find out the procedures? Unless you intend to renew WP yourself.

Just checked with my brother in law who just extended his Filipino maid's contract.
Some things to check with your maid are:
1) Does she have a passport with sufficient validity?
2) As they are supposed to be granted with 2wks of home leave, check if she'd like to go back or stay put? (Bonus payout is up to you, otherwise just pay her base on her salary.) Will be more troublesome if she wants to go home, coz she'll then need to apply for the POEA from her embassy or you can engage a local employment agency to do it on your behalf. (About $200)
3) As for the salary increment, you can negotiate the salary with your maid and come to an agreement.

If she's not going back and holds a passport with sufficient validity, you can just extend her Work Permit via MOM website.
For further enquiries, you can also call MOM hotline to find out more.

Hope this information helps.[/quote]

No eye drop.

By the way, the check is quite detail. Including anterior & posterior eye health, colour vision, muscle coordination.

Hi mummy of 2,


If you have someone you know, it is FOC. Else, is only $5.
But you need to call in & make appointment.

Hi jacsplace,


Yes, my friend recommended me S’pore Poly too. We went there yesterday. 1.5 hour check. Service not bad.

Then in the afternoon brought her to make specs. Can collect on Friday. Thanks for all the info.
