It means that the current employer has given prior consent to allow the helper to seek employment with another employer in Singapore.
Under MOM’s regulation, the current employer has to give explicit consent for the domestic worker to seek another employment while still under employment in Singapore.
Some important points to note: 1) The worker has to have at least 1-month validity on the current work permit before being allowed to transfer. 2) The worker must not have any outstanding medical examination request by MOM.
Allowing your helper to transfer
Facilitating a Smooth Transition for Transfer Helpers
To aid in the seamless transition of transfer helpers to a new employer, we kindly request the current employer to acknowledge that the worker has prior permission for the transfer.
This acknowledgement does not establish a legal obligation nor does it signify a commitment to our agency. Its a confirmation to employers that Goodhire has your permission to seek a new employer for your helper.
Employers have the option to specify their desired transfer date. Upon securing a new employer for your worker, we will get in touch for your verification and authorisation with MOM.
We’re pleased to mention that the transfer service through our agency is FREE of charge for both employers and workers.
