Frequent changes of MDWs
If you have changed migrant domestic workers (MDWs) multiple times within a year, you have to meet certain requirements before you can employ another worker.
You are a Frequent Change Employer if you have changed more than 3 MDWs within a 12-month period.
If you are employing your 4th MDW within a 12-month period, you will be required to attend the CONNECT Workshop conducted by the Association of Employment Agencies Singapore (AEA(S)). Details will be provided in the registered letter sent to you by MOM.
What to expect during the CONNECT Workshop
The CONNECT workshop is conducted by an experienced consultant from AEA(S).
With a network of reputable employment agencies, AEA(S) can help employers better understand their hiring needs and facilitate a better match.
You will be given a questionnaire to complete before the session. This would assist the consultant in understanding your previous hiring practices and management of MDWs and make recommendations to assist you.
