Letting Your Maid Transfer to a New Employer
Besides cancelling your maid’s Work Permit and repatriating her, there is always an option to get an employment agency to cancel and take over the responsibility of your maid to find her a new employer provided she still wants to work in Singapore. In the event she doesn’t find an employer in time, they will be responsible to repatriate her and not you.
This way, a win-win situation is created. You save back the money to buy an air-ticket and you relinquished your responsibilities as her employer to an employment agency. This is a process also know as letting your maid transfer.
If the final decision is to let your maid transfer, do contact us at 6735 3456 and we will be more than happy to discuss taking over the responsibility of your maid.
