If you look at MOM Standard Service Agreement, i think you should refer such disputes to CASE for unfair practise… your agency should not be charging you any termination fees.


Maybe only loan can be prorated and refunded back… if they put her in boarding then yes you need to pay levy and boarding fees.

That reminds me why do people bother to go take Myanmar maids, not only can't they not communicate ,,they don't even complete 1 year with employers.. yeah I know maybe agency fees is cheaper for them lay .but they give more headache ,,same with cambodia maids

I thought its unfair for me to have to continue to pay the levy and boarding fees. The agency highly recommend this maid and say they interview her personally in Myanmar, gave her very high scoring and yet she doesn't even know how to wash a cup. I spent time to train her and hire my part time helper to teach her. She cried many times at my place and told me she missed home and wants to go back agency. I sent her back immediately but was told I need to pay $500 termination and $15 per day lodging. The maid finally found a new employer to take her after 20 plus days. At the end of the day, maid found new employer, agency got a new customer but I'm spending close to 2k for nothing. I think this is not fair for me.

My Myanmar maid request to go back to agency after working 14 days at my place. Agency asked me to get replacement maid but I refused because their service is no good, maids not trained and they told me too many lies. Now agency is charging me $500 termination fee, $15 per day for maid’s lodging until she find a new employer and I’m continuing to pay for her levy.


What should I do? This maid is extremely silly and I spent a stressful 14 days trying to teach her, in the end she said she wants to go back. My $600+ agency & processing fee gone and I have to fork out more money for her lodging and termination. I think this is very unfair for employers.
