Employment Agencies (EAs) to provide refund option for service fees if Migrant Domestic Worker (MDW) is terminated early
 
EAs must provide employers with a refund option of at least 50% of the service fees paid by the employer, if the MDW’s employment is terminated within the first 6 months.
 
Applies to all service fees paid on or after 1 June 2022
Applicable only for up to three MDWs that the EA places with that same employer
Employer can request for a replacement MDW instead of a refund, if the option is offered by the EA
 
This encourages EAs to take stronger ownership in achieving good matches between MDWs and employers.
