As her employer you are responsible for paying her correctly and on time. A salary schedule that she signs every month protects both of you if there is ever a question about her pay:
Proof of payment: MOM asks employers to keep a record of every monthly salary payment, and to consider having the helper acknowledge each one. Her signature on each row does both, which matters most if you pay in cash.
Correct off-day pay: if she works on a rest day instead of taking it off, she gets at least one day’s salary on top of her basic pay. The generator counts her rest days in every salary month and works it out (basic salary ÷ 26).
Clear placement fee recovery: MOM allows no deductions from her salary except a placement loan written into her contract. The schedule shows exactly how much is recovered each month and when it ends.
MOM asks you to keep a written record of each monthly salary you pay her, and to consider having her acknowledge each payment to avoid disputes. If you pay by bank transfer, the transfer is also a record. A salary schedule she signs each month covers both, and is the simplest proof if you pay in cash.
Within 7 days after the end of her salary period. The schedule dates each salary month from her start date: if she starts on 22 July, each salary month ends on the 21st, and that is the date shown for each row.
If she works on a rest day instead of taking it off, you must pay her at least one day’s salary for it, on top of her basic salary. One day’s salary is her monthly salary divided by 26 (S$550 ÷ 26 = S$21.15). The generator counts how many of her weekly rest days fall in each salary month, takes away the days off she takes, and pays the rest. At least one rest day a month must be taken off, not paid out.
No, except the recovery of a placement loan, and only if the amount, duration and method of repayment are written in her employment contract. You cannot deduct medical costs, flight tickets, damage to household items or penalties for her work.
