New or Ex Singapore Maid

Example for hiring a New or Ex Singapore maid
A placement fee (aka maid loan), is an amount you pay to a maid agency for their work in recruiting and arranging employment for a maid. You can think of it as a loan that the maid requires to work here, which you, the employer, must initially pay on her behalf.
However, this fee isn’t an extra cost for you. You’ll get this money back by deducting the maid’s salary in the first few months she works for you. The length of time for these deductions depends on the total amount of the loan taken by the maid.
In this example, the placement fee is $2,500, which is equivalent to 5 months of the maid’s salary. You are required to settle this cost initially for your maid. Consequently, you won’t need to pay her salary for the first 5 months of her employment, as she is essentially repaying her loan to you during this period.
