When you skip the agency to hire a helper directly, you become fully responsible for the paperwork. A verbal agreement is not enough to protect you or your helper. Our generated contract ensures you don’t miss critical requirements, including:
Clear Salary Terms: Prevents disputes over basic pay and payment dates.
Mandatory Rest Day Compliance: Reflects MOM’s updated rules that at least one rest day per month cannot be compensated with cash.
Medical & Repatriation: Clearly defines employer responsibilities for medical care and the cost of sending the helper home at the end of her employment, keeping you legally protected.
No. If you are hiring directly or doing a direct transfer, you can draft and sign a private employment contract with your helper. Our template is based on standard industry terms.
While MOM requires a written employment contract to be signed before the helper arrives or starts work, you usually do not need to submit the physical contract to MOM unless specifically requested. However, you must keep it on hand in case of a dispute.
Yes, but any changes (like a salary increase) must be agreed upon by both you and your helper in writing. You can simply generate a new contract, sign it, and date it to supersede the old one.
That is completely fine. For new hires, the contract is often signed during the In-Principle Approval (IPA) stage. You can leave the Work Permit field blank and write it in by hand once it is issued.
When you click the download above, it will generate a sample contract for you.
