Singapore Part Time Maid & Full Time Maid
Having a Part Time maid gives one the freedom
and the hassle of a maid staying with you at
home. But most importantly you can trust them to
finish their job effective and efficiently even
though you are not at home. The part time maid
just comes in and cleans your place that you
wish to. They will be right at your door steps
when you need them to come and as frequent as
you want them to come. Yet you are able to enjoy
freedom of privacy without having the maid to
stay at your place. There is totally no invasion
of privacy if you are the type that likes to
have your own privacy, part time maid will be
your best solution!
It is advisable to seek help from profession
house cleaning company, as they will do a
background check on their cleaners. It is
illegal to hire foreign workers, "freelance
part-time cleaner" for maid service in
Singapore. Always check for work permit before
allowing a domestic cleaner to enter your place.
Never trust part time maid agency who claims
their maids are the best and all their cleaners
are holding work permit, always do a check. Singapore Part Time Cleaning Services
has
got some PRC & Pilipino cleaners which are
holding legal work permits in Singapore.

Having a full time maid could be an advantage or
disadvantage. Having a full time maid might not
be your ideal choice. If you are about to engage
a full time maid, you might be worried whether
you can trust the maid to be at home by herself.
Her behaviour might not be acceptable as in she
might be in a love relationship without you or
your family, etc. knowing and who knows? She
might even be pregnant after a period of time.

maid is important but not all full time maids
are bad. There are quite good ones as well.

maid or full time time is your ultimate choice,
we should all treat each and everyone with
respect. Learn to live in harmony with your
maid. Give them your best and they will return
you with their best too!
Who is Responsible for Domestic Workers?
Here in Singapore, engaging the assistance of a domestic helper is not unheard of. According to an online article published by AsiaOne in 2010, one in every seven Singaporean households has a helper. The Labour Force Report by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) also stated that Singapore has the third highest number of Foreign Domestic Workers (FDW), with a majority of them hailing from Indonesia or the Philippines. The primary reason behind this increasing employment rate is apparently the steady increase in the number of women who are joining-or rejoining-the workforce in Singapore.
The tasks performed by these domestic helpers vary in nature; they include taking care of the employer's home, children and elderly parents. Some are even entrusted with kitchen duties. While their usefulness is evident, it cannot be denied that there have been reports of undesirable behaviour displayed by these workers. One of them was arrested for stealing a sum as hefty as S$26,418 from a previous employer, while another was charged for the bizarre crime of adding menstrual blood into her employer's drink.
Who then, becomes responsible for the crimes committed by the domestic worker? Is it the employer or the cleaning company that represents them? The answer lies in the contract that has been drafted by the company. Domestic helpers-local or foreign-are not covered by the Employment Act, which stipulates the conditions of service, such as the mandatory number of working hours and rest days. This is because regulating specific aspects of domestic work is not practical. For instance, it is difficult to compute overtime payments for domestic workers as defining what constitutes work or free time is virtually impossible, regardless of whether the helper works full-time or part-time.
Thus, MOM has encouraged employers and the FDW to enter into a written contract, after they have successfully applied for mandatory Work Permit which is valid for two years. The cleaning company would then be responsible for drafting mutually agreeable contracts for the two parties involved, in order to avoid any conflicts in interest. In an undesirable situation where there is an employment problem or breach of contract by the employer, the domestic helper has the right to lodge a complaint or file a claim with MOM. MOM will then be compelled to contact the employer and arrange for a meeting between the parties involved to resolve the dispute. This conciliation service is offered pro-bono.
However, if the FDW was the wrongdoer and the employer feels that the crime which had been committed is too heavy to be disregarded or resolved in a diplomatic manner, he/she can choose to terminate the domestic worker's services. To do so, the employer needs to ensure that all matters pertaining to the worker's employment, such as outstanding wages or compensation claims, have been properly settled before the cancellation of the Work Permit. Additionally, reasonable notice of the inevitable repatriation to the worker's home country must also be given, with the full cost of it to be beared by the employer.
