[Sent by MOM – 21 May]

Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) Strongly Encouraged to Stay Home on Rest Days

MDWs who need to go out for essential errands, should keep it short and avoid crowded places.
No intermingling between groups, and no sharing of food, drinks or utensils
Employers can help MDWs understand the importance of stricter SMMs during this period
If MDWs decide to stay home on their rest day, employers should not assign work to them
If MDWs forgo their rest day, employers must provide compensation in lieu of the rest day

MOM officers have also stepped up enforcement efforts at places popular with MDWs. We seek the understanding and cooperation of MDWs and their employers. These measures help protect MDWs, their employers’ families and our community.
