SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): All foreign domestic workers entering Singapore will be served a 14-day stay-home notice, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said on Sunday (March 15).
All employers and employment agencies planning for their foreign domestic workers to enter Singapore will also need to obtain the MOM's approval before the workers commence their journey.
For domestic workers returning from overseas, their employers can arrange for them to serve the notice in the employer's residential address, or alternative accommodation.The applicant - either the employer or the employment agency - will be responsible for ensuring that the domestic worker complies with the stay-home notice.
"The employment agencies or employers will be required to send the MOM approval letter to the FDWs, who will need to show it to the airline staff during check-in and at the ICA checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore," said the MOM. "Demerit points will also be imposed on agencies whose actions result in violation of the requirements by the FDWs."
