She wrote: 'Wanna ask, If whats the requirements on how to apply lose (sic) work permit. If report to the police,whtas next? I am a helper and my boss went over sea (sic)'.
The helper wrote in an anonymous post that her employers were overseas, and she was unsure of the next steps. The maid submitted her post to an online support group for domestic helpers and employers alike. She wrote: “Wanna ask, If whats the requirements on how to apply loseOther helpers and employers commented on the post and gave the maid advice. One said: “Mom rules.. If first time you lose your work permit you have pay $100.. For the second time you have to pay $300.
Another also said: “1st time lost you have to pay 100sgd. 2bd time 300. 3rd time cancel work permit”, which was not entirely correct information. According to the Manpower Ministry , “As an employer, you need to apply for a new Work Permit card for your worker within 1 week if it is lost, damaged or stolen. If the card is lost, stolen or damaged, you must apply for a replacement within 1 week. For a stolen card, you must also file a police report.
However, because her employer went on holiday for the entirety of December 2021, she only officially started work in January 2022 . Because of this, “now my boss wants me to work with them until January 2024 without renewing my work permit”, the helper wrote. “Is it possible to work with them even if our signed contract will end this November 14 and my work permit will expire on November 27?” she asked others in the group.
