EMPLOYERS' GUIDELINE
You should consider your decision to employ a Foreign
Domestic Worker (FDW) seriously.
There are other alternatives such as childcare centres, play schools and homes
for the old or sick. You should also consider if you are able to provide for,
maintain and properly manage the FDW during her stay with you.
This will help prevent miscommunication and other problems which could arise in
your working relationship with your FDW.
It takes time and effort to nurture a good working relationship between
employers and their FDWs. The likelihood of misunderstandings and disputes will
be minimised greatly if both parties decide from the start to make the
relationship work. Employers should also be reasonable when assigning household
chores.
A happy FDW who is well taken care of is less likely to cause problems than one
who is unhappy.
You can request your Employment Agency to make available the employment history
of the FDW you intend to employ. This will enable you, as an employer, to make
better informed choices in your selection of FDWs.

EMPLOYERS' ORIENTATION PROGRAM
The Employers' Orientation Programme (EOP) is a three-hour
programme that provides employers with information on employing a Foreign
Domestic Worker (FDW). It provides employers with a basic understanding of their
role and responsibilities as employers. Guidelines on creating and maintaining a
positive and productive working relationship with their FDW will also be shared.
Those who are employing FDWs for the first time must attend the EOP before
submitting the FDW's Work Permit (WP) application. Failure to comply with this
requirement will render the WP application unsuccessful. However employers who
fulfill the exemption criterias may apply for exemption from attending the EOP.
Employers who apply for their fifth FDW within a 12 month period must also
attend the classroom EOP. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in
the rejection of their WP application.
REGISTRATION FOR EMPLOYERS' ORIENTATION PROGRAMME
Employers can choose to do the EOP in a " CLASSROOM SETTING " or " ONLINE
".
Employers must complete the EOP two working days before submitting their FDW's WP application.
This is because records of EOP attendance will only be conveyed to us the day after employers
have attended the EOP. Applications from employers submitted less than two working days after
attending the EOP will be rejected.
Employers and Employment Agencies (EAs) must ensure that all the information submitted in the
EOP registration and WP application forms are identical (e.g. identification numbers, name,
date of birth). This will allow us to match the identification of the person who has attended
the EOP with the WP applicant. Submitting different information in the EOP registration and WP
application forms may result in the rejection of the WP application.
