Singapore has seen increasing demand for helpers. As more and more dual income families meet the rising cost of living, Singapore see increasing number of workers imported to handle domestic works including housekeeping and caring for employers’ children. Living in a new environment with jobs that entails excessive demands and limited autonomy tend to put high-strain for helpers. They are prone to ranges of psychological issues and sometimes may even lead to physical problems. Hereby, the well-being of maid Singapore is important and deserving of attention.
In supporting this view, MOM has introduced a new measure to give domestic workers compulsory one rest day a month. Previously, the rule allowed workers to exchange their day off for extra remuneration. This rule will no longer be applicable from January 2023, as the government mandate one day should not be compensated for. This policy aim to decrease stress and social isolation among domestic worker, in order to improve their overall well-being. Afterall, it is when the needs are met, they are able to perform well on the job. Contact JL Recruitment, your reiable MOM maid agency Singapore for further info and more!
