Sending a migrant domestic worker (MDW) home
When your MDW's employment ends, you need to complete certain steps before she departs for her home country/region.
Before you send your helper home:
- Settle all outstanding employment issues that she may raise, including salary payment.
- Ensure she has a valid passport.
- Discuss with her and agree on the following in writing before buying an air ticket:
- Transit arrangement, such as connecting flights and layover hours
- Allowance needed to sustain her during the transit
- Buy her an air ticket and pay for any connecting transport costs to the international port of entry in her home country/region nearest to her hometown. Her departure date must be within 2 weeks from the Work Permit cancellation.
You must pay for her air ticket and it must include check-in luggage. To avoid disputes, please get her to acknowledge the transport payment from you in writing.
