Maid Work Permit Renewal
LET US LEAD YOU THROUGH THE RENEWAL PROCESS
Renew Your Maid’s Work Permit
When renewing your helper’s work permit and employment contract, it’s important that all terms are clearly stated to protect both employer and helper, and to prevent any future misunderstandings.
At The 11th Street Agency, we’ll guide you through the entire renewal process and advise you on current industry practices, including home leave entitlements, salary adjustments, and applicable bonuses. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions that maintain a fair and positive working relationship for the years ahead.
When do Maids or Migrant Domestic Workers go for Home Leave?
Home leave can happen for several reasons:
Contract Renewals
When a helper extends her employment after completing two years of service.
Finished Contracts
When a helper’s contract ends and she returns home before deciding on future plans.
Home Emergencies (Special Cases)
For urgent personal or family reasons requiring immediate travel.
With every work permit renewal, employers should check with their helper if she plans to go on home leave.
​
If your helper intends to return home for a short break (e.g. two weeks) after renewal, ensure a Maid Home Leave Application is submitted early to avoid last-minute delays.
Tips for a Smooth Renewal Process
Maintaining a good working relationship goes beyond paperwork.
Here are a few practical steps to make renewals positive and rewarding:
Salary Adjustments
A fair salary review acknowledges your helper’s contribution and motivates continued good performance. It’s one of the simplest ways to retain reliable, trusted help.
Performance Bonuses
Offering a bonus is a strong gesture of appreciation for dedicated service.
It not only rewards effort but also encourages continued loyalty and professionalism.
