Hi,
I would like to know what is the going rate for maid services in Singapore?
From what I hear is that you should budget for 1000 SGD/month. Includes all, but I also believe that you have the 5000 SGD bond or something up front that you have to pay (as an insurance... or something).lstrike wrote:Hi,

Yes it is! I'm happy to see the Philippine government trying to make a stand ST 22nd February. doubling of wages to 400$, the government will train them, they will also attend language courses. Of course Singapore are saying its market forces, that determine income!sundaymorningstaple wrote:The 5K bond is usually arranged by a bankers bond/insurance policy for a couple of hundred. You don't have to fork out 5K up front. You will have the maid agency fee to deal with though. Again, only a couple of hundred because the agencies shaft the maid instead. The (the maid) get royally screwed coming and going! The have to pay (if from the 'peens) an exit permit fee, the 'peens agency fee (several months salary) and the local agency here's fee (up to around 6 months salary. Basically they have to work here for 1 year before they see any month that actually belongs to them. (Just think - just to earn $350/mo. )Sorry, touchy topic.
