Provide a reference for your pass holderShow
You can submit a request to be a referee for your ex-work pass holder after you have cancelled the work pass.
Upon receiving your request, we will:
- Inform the prospective employer or employment agent who is applying for a work pass for the worker that you have offered to provide a personal reference check.
- Release your contact details so that they can contact you to find out more about the worker’s conduct, character, or work performance, if they wish to do so.
The prospective employer or employment agent may also speak to the foreigner directly before deciding if they want to proceed to apply for the work pass.
This request will be valid for 2 years, but you can submit a request to withdraw at any time.
We are also unable to act based on non-employment related feedback from landlords, housing agents etc. They can choose to either seek legal advice, file a police report, or settle the matter directly with the foreigner.
