Singaporeans can easily get Singapore foreign domestic workers. First of all though, it is important to find out if you really need or want one. It is not always easy for every Singaporean to keep a foreign worker who may not be able to immediately adjust to the way things work in Singapore. If you are absolutely positive that you need a foreign domestic worker, you should choose the most appropriate way for you to get one.
Workers from Agencies
As much as possible, the wise option to take is to contact an agency. With a legitimate agency, you do not have to worry about the requirement details for domestic help. Although you still need to participate in the completion of the requirements, an agency will make sure that all the documents are ready and that you do not miss a step. Agencies also offer additional resources for employers and have policies for replacement when a worker is not satisfactory.
Finding a Worker by Yourself
It’s possible that you may want to pick your own help on your own. If so, you have the option to hire a first time domestic worker from an accredited country. You may also simply opt for a worker transfer. This is possible if there are current domestic helpers whose work periods with their employers are about to end. Here’s what you should prepare when hiring help:
- Employers of Singapore foreign domestic workers need to complete an orientation program. For busy employers, an online program is an option.
- Work permits are applied for by employers. A normal worker’s permit will be valid for 24 months. You may however need to check your worker’s passport to ensure that she will be allowed to stay for that length of time.
- Getting domestic help is not very cheap. Employers would have to pay an administrative fee and a levy that is charged monthly with penalties for late payment. An employer’s budget should also cover twice a year check-ups for workers, monthly salary, 13th month bonus, food, lodging, insurance, bonds and air fare.
- Domestic workers have to undergo a test and be present for a safety seminar.
An employer’s considerations go well beyond legal or document requirements. There are also a couple of other important points to remember.
- Foreigners staying in Singapore temporarily may not employ domestic workers. Only residents and citizens of Singapore may do so.
- A foreign domestic worker is not allowed to get pregnant while working in the country. It is the duty of every employer to ensure that this does not happen.
- Residents will usually require only one worker. If more is needed, an approval should be secured.
- Workers must be between 23-50 years old and should have a minimum of 8 years of formal education.
- No other kind of work is permitted except for domestic duties.
- It is a good policy to educate one’s domestic workers regarding Singapore’s culture and laws.
Singapore foreign domestic workers are truly valuable help. Much however depends on an employer’s compliance with the requirements and his ability to provide support and assistance to domestic workers.

Cough, cough. Sniffle, sniffle. Ahhhhh-choooooo! Anybody have a tissue? The common cold is one of the most frequent human illnesses and is responsible for high economic loss to both employee and employer due to considerable time-off. While there is no ?cure? for the common cold, there is evidence that suggests zinc may help shorten the duration of your cold. Zinc Lozenges, with a honey peppermint flavor, from Olympian Labs contain soothing slippery elm bark and natural flavors to help you through cold and allergy seasons.Zinc Facts:Zinc is a trace mineral that is essential for our body. It is found in muscle, our bones, skin, liver, pancreas, and other organs. Next to iron, it the most available trace mineral in the human body. Zinc helps boost immunity, repair wounds, maintain fertility, synthesize protein, helps cells reproduce, and preserves vision. More than 300 enzymes in the body need zinc in order to function properly. A deficiency of zinc may impair the body’s immunity and immune function.Life Without ZincSo, what happens to the body when it has a zinc deficiency? Some people do, in fact, have a hereditary zinc deficiency. These people tend to have reduced T cell production (all white blood cell function deteriorates). An increase in the number and frequency of infections results. These symptoms are reversible when adequate zinc is taken. Other problems resulting from zinc deficiency include impaired protein synthesis and energy production, poor collagen formation, poor alcohol tolerance, loss of taste and smell, and many pregnancy related problems. Zinc is not only necessary for healthy functioning of your body, but by bolstering the immune response, supplementation of zinc definitely reduces cold and flu symptom severity and duration. Take your zinc!How does it work?No one knows for sure but there are a number of theories. The zinc molecule itself is the same size and shape of binding sites on our cells where rhinoviruses (the virus responsible for colds)
When it comes to defining health insurance in Texas, the state and federal mandates that determine what a “small business” or a “large business” are important especially when it comes to setting insurance rates. According to these definitions a small employer may not have greater than 50 full-time employees. The government describes a full-time employee as one that works at least 30 hours per week. Seasonal or temporary employees are not included in these numbers.
Small employers qualify for some extra legal protection under state and federal laws. This includes dictating how much insurance companies can charge them and what type of coverage must be extended to them. In order for these smaller companies to benefit from the special health insurance statutes in Texas they do have to meet certain eligibility requirements. The total number of employees is not as important as how many employees are eligible for, or will be participating in the insurance program. The law requires that all eligible employees have health insurance offered to them and their immediate families.
A health insurance provider may require that a minimum of 75% of the employees that are eligible for insurance through their small business employer sign up for their insurance. With some companies this may be a portion of how they will obtain health insurance. But, it may all depend on the number of employees and the law may state that not that many employees at the company have to participate in order for them to qualify for health insurance in Texas.
In some cases where there are very few employees, an insurance company may require that 100% of the employees participate in order to qualify for group coverage rates. If there just aren’t enough people, they may each have to purchase individual or family policies at the higher premium. Health insurance in Texas can be expensive depending on the individual circumstances, but the best case scenario is having enough people participate to qualify for the group rates so that everyone can save as much money as possible.
When a small business has a small number of employees participating in a group health insurance plan in Texas, they are usually all required to have the exact same plan. Larger companies can offer employees choices as far as co-pays and deductibles, but the smaller business may have to require everyone to be on the exact same plan.
No matter what size the company is, it is against the law for any employer to require an employee to participate in a health insurance plan in Texas in order to keep their job. It is also illegal to disqualify an employee for insurance coverage due to their age, gender or health conditions they may have.
Small businesses need to be mindful of the laws regarding health insurance in Texas. They must be sure to offer the proper health insurance for their eligible employees under the law. Having healthy employees is better for the employer in the long run and paying for health insurance will benefit them as well as the employees.

Job interviews have changed dramatically in recent years. Both the format of interviews and the questions that are asked are designed to drill deeply into a candidate s personality and behavior, not just his or her job qualifications. The cost of hiring and retaining good employees in the 21st century compels employers to be much more careful about whom they hire, leading to a more in-depth approach to interviewing. In this companion to No-Nonsense Resumes and No-Nonsense Cover Letters, job and career transition coach Arnold Boldt takes the reader step-by-step from interview preparation to performance to follow-up, in a straightforward, easy-to-follow manner.
