Do I need to make full payment at the point of booking?Show

Yes, you will be required to make full payment at the point of booking to secure your worker's Onboard slot.

Will there be an official receipt sent to me after I make payment?Show

The invoice status in the OBS under "My booking" will be reflected as 'Paid' once the payment is successfully processed, serving as an official receipt.

If I have already made payment but subsequently decided to cancel my booking, will I receive a refund?Show

If your worker's Onboard slot is cancelled, refund will be made automatically to the credit or debit card used to make the payment less the non-refundable fee. The refund status and amount will be available for viewing in the OBS under "My booking".

Will I be charged twice if I accidentally make more than one booking for the same worker?Show

No, the OBS will not allow a duplicate booking to be made for the same worker.

You can make a booking between 4 to 90 days before your worker's planned check-in date.

Are there any differences between booking as an employer and booking as an employment agency?Show
