The worker's rights

A clear working relationship that protects both sides

A domestic worker is a party to an employment contract, not a commodity. We commit, and ask our clients to commit, to the following:

  • An employment contract and job offer on the Ministry of Labour's model forms, setting working hours, daily rest, the weekly day off, annual leave and accommodation
  • Salary paid as contracted and on time
  • The passport is hers and stays with her; it may be held only with her written consent
  • The office never charges the worker any fee
  • An orientation programme on local customs, her rights and duties, and how to reach the office or the authorities in case of a dispute or abuse
  • Housing, food and healthcare at the office's cost in the guarantee cases the regulation defines
  • Her privacy and dignity are protected at the office
