In Singapore, there is no minimum wage for (MDWs). To prevent monetary disputes over safekeeping, employers are encouraged to pay wages electronically through bank transfer and do proper record keeping.

Our Hong Kong Caseworker Mentorship Programme is a few days away! We focus on training full-time MDW to serve as volunteer caseworkers, to help smaller, underserved unions to gain access to resources for casework.

Personal accident insurance is also required and provides crucial support for migrant domestic workers and their families in unforeseen accidents. Employers are required to pay for both products, and they cannot deduct these costs from their worker's salary.

Explore and discover our latest post for comprehensive insurance coverage details, and join us in supporting full compliance with safety regulations for migrant domestic workers in Singapore.

Important update for Singapore employers and domestic workers: insurance coverage has changed as of 1 July 2023. Employers must now provide enhanced medical insurance, which offers higher annual claim limits and benefits.

In Singapore, #migrantdomesticworkers (MDWs) are required to live with their employers. The Ministry of Manpower has set out guidelines that entitle MDWs to acceptable accommodation and sufficient provision of food. Read more below!
