Why Advance Placement Scheme is the Best Choice for Hiring MDW?
1. Faster Hiring Process
The waiting period for hiring a Migrant Domestic Worker (MDW) is significantly reduced with APS. Pre-approved candidates are already in Singapore, ensuring a faster and smoother deployment to your home.
2. Better Matching Through Face-to-Face Interviews
Employers can interview potential MDWs directly and in person through APS. This direct interaction minimises misunderstanding and ensures compatibility. It helps you in finding the ideal helper to meet the specific needs of your household.
3. Ideal for Urgent Caregiving Needs
The APS is designed to support urgent caregiving needs, whether a helper for a newborn, an elderly parent, or a family member with a disability. Pre-screened helpers are ready to step in and provide immediate support when needed most.
4. Transparency and Assurance
Maid Management Services ensures the thorough screening of helpers, which includes background checks, medical examinations, and skills assessments. This transparent process helps families to make decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
5. Cost Benefits Through Levy Concessions
To qualify for APS, you must be eligible for the Migrant Domestic Worker Concessionary Levy Scheme, which lowers the monthly levy. This makes it easier for households in need to hire a helper at an affordable cost.
6. Convenience and Simplified Process
Avoid the hassle of overseas searches and complex logistics. From choosing a helper to deployment, APS simplifies the entire process, ensuring a stress-free and smooth experience.
Are You Eligible for APS?
Families who are eligible for the MDW Concessionary Levy Scheme can qualify for APS. You are eligible if:
- You have a child (or grandchild) aged 16 or below.
- You live with an elderly family member aged 67 or above in your household.
- A family member with a disability or medical condition lives with you and needs help with daily tasks like feeding, bathing, or dressing.
