About 3M's Manpower and Services
3M's Manpower and Services is a maid agency operating islandwide from its office at 170 Upper Bukit Timah Road, offering helper placement services for households across Singapore. The listing has been verified by KakiList, though no ACRA registration has been confirmed and no regulatory licences are on record. There are only 3 Google reviews at a rating of 2.3 out of 5 — this is too small a sample to draw meaningful conclusions, and the low score should be noted with caution.
When engaging a maid agency, households should first confirm that the agency holds a valid MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, which is verifiable by name or licence number on MOM's online EA directory. This licence is a legal requirement for any agency placing foreign domestic workers in Singapore. You will also want to understand the full cost picture: the placement fee for a new hire or a transfer helper, the helper's monthly salary (which varies by source country and experience), and the monthly MOM levy. Confirm what is bundled into the placement fee — mandatory FDW insurance, the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application — versus what is billed separately. Discuss source-country preferences, replacement guarantee terms, and the process if the placement breaks down.
Contact 3M's Manpower and Services by phone or through the enquiry form to ask for their EA Licence number and a written breakdown of all fees before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does 3M's Manpower and Services charge?›
Placement fees in Singapore typically run S$1,500–3,500 for a new hire and S$500–1,500 for a transfer helper. On top of the placement fee, you will pay the helper's monthly salary — generally S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience — plus the monthly MOM levy of S$300 (standard) or S$60 (concessionary rate for households with a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability). Confirm what is included in the placement fee: mandatory FDW insurance (roughly S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, pre-deployment medical examination, and Work Permit application are standard components — but some agencies bill these separately.

Is 3M's Manpower and Services MOM-licensed?›
No MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence is recorded for 3M's Manpower and Services in the information available on this listing. Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore is legally required to hold an EA Licence, which is publicly verifiable on MOM's online EA directory by agency name or licence number. The licence number should appear on the agency's website, contracts, and invoices. EA Grading runs from A+ to C, with A+ and A indicating stronger compliance and complaint-handling records. Engaging an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if a placement fails or the agency closes, and can void your FDW insurance. Verify the EA Licence number on MOM's online EA directory before paying any deposit, and read the agency contract's replacement, refund, and early-termination clauses carefully.
What replacement guarantee does 3M's Manpower and Services offer?›
No specific replacement guarantee terms are available for this listing. As a general guide, reputable agencies in Singapore offer a replacement window of around six months from the helper's arrival date, covering a documented mismatch or performance issue — though the precise terms vary and some agencies limit the number of replacements included at no additional charge. Confirm what voids the guarantee (for example, early termination by the household versus documented incompatibility), the cost of any additional replacements beyond the included allowance, and the early-termination process — repatriation flight, Work Permit cancellation, and refund of any unused levy portion are costs that typically fall to the household if the placement breaks down outside the guarantee window. Contact 3M's Manpower and Services directly to obtain these terms in writing before signing any agreement.
