Standard Contracts At last there is a standard employment contract between employers and domestic helpers and one between employers and Singapore maid agencies.The two standard contracts approved by the two accrediting bodies the Association of Employment Agencies (Singapore) and Casetrust are especially beneficial to the first-time employer and the domestic worker. There are no small prints or onerous one-sided clauses loaded against an inexperienced employer. The employment contract is a step in the right direction, though more could be achieved. The domestic workers should now know what to expect such as terms of payment to the maid agency, duties expected of them, the size of the host family, not like before. Provided they do take the trouble to read the terms. The first-time employer will benefit because there are no surprises springing out of small prints and sometimes a mangling of the English language which make it quite impossible to understand the service agreement with the maid agency.
