About Budget Employment Service Centre Pte Ltd
Budget Employment Service Centre Pte Ltd is a maid agency based in Upper Thomson, offering islandwide placement of foreign domestic workers. It has been verified by KakiList and is ACRA-registered. It holds a 4.3/5 rating across 40 Google reviews, a moderate sample size. No regulatory licence details are currently recorded on this listing, so prospective clients should verify the agency's MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence directly on MOM's online EA directory before proceeding.
When enquiring, confirm whether you need a new-hire placement or a transfer helper — the two carry different placement fees, timelines, and candidate pools. Ask about source-country options (typically Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, or Sri Lanka), the helper's monthly salary range, and whether mandatory items such as FDW insurance, the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application are bundled into the quoted fee or billed separately. Clarify the monthly MOM levy applicable to your household — S$300 at the standard rate, or S$60 at the concessionary rate if you have a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability. Confirm the replacement guarantee window and what voids it, as well as the repatriation cost should the placement break down outside that period.
Contact Budget Employment Service Centre Pte Ltd via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to confirm current candidate availability, the full fee schedule in writing, and the EA Licence number before paying any deposit.

Karen has been extremely helpful over the past 2 decades with finding the right helper for our family. She is patient with trying to find the right fit and is honest about who will better suit our needs. Highly recommend Karen to anyone who is looking to hire a helper

This was my first time hiring a maid, and it was quite a positive experience with Karen. They put in considerable effort to find a good match for my family. Initially, I was ready to select a candidate, but Karen advised conducting more interviews. Ultimately, we found the ideal Myanmar helper for my family, and the team was exceptionally supportive throughout the entire process. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Susan was extremely helpful. Within a few hours of my call, she had shortlisted 5 candidates who met my requirements. Susan, together with Karen, responded to my calls and WhatsApp enquiries very promptly and upon my requests, they arranged for me to interview the selected candidates very quickly. I was able to find a suitable helper very quickly as a result. 👍👍👍

I had my first engagement with Budget Maids in Mar 2022, handled by Jeans. Jeans was great support as she has many years of experience which enabled her to match our needs to a suitable candidate from their available pool of helpers. Company was professional in handling the whole procedure. I have never hesitated recommending Budget Maids to anyone who requires a helper.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Budget Employment Service Centre Pte Ltd charge?›
Placement fees vary depending on whether you are hiring a new helper or a transfer helper. New-hire placements typically run S$1,500–3,500; transfer helpers are generally S$500–1,500. On top of the placement fee, budget for the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard; S$60 concessionary for qualifying households with a child under 16, an elderly member 67+, or a person with disability). Confirm what is bundled into the quoted fee — mandatory FDW insurance (roughly S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application — versus what is charged separately.

Is Budget Employment Service Centre Pte Ltd MOM-licensed?›
Every legitimate maid agency must hold an MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, which is verifiable by name or licence number on MOM's online EA directory. The licence number should appear on the agency's website, contracts, and invoices. EA Grading runs from A+ to C; agencies rated A+ or A have a stronger compliance and complaint-handling track record. No regulatory licence details are currently recorded on this KakiList listing for Budget Employment Service Centre Pte Ltd. You should verify the EA Licence number directly on MOM's portal before paying any deposit. Hiring through an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if issues arise, and can void 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.
What replacement guarantee does Budget Employment Service Centre Pte Ltd offer?›
A standard replacement window typically covers six months from the helper's arrival date, with one or more replacements included within that period. Confirm whether the guarantee applies to any mismatch or only to documented cases, and what the cost is for additional replacements beyond what is included. Also clarify the early-termination process outside the guarantee window — repatriation flight costs, refund of any unused levy months, and Work Permit cancellation paperwork are generally the household's responsibility once the guarantee has lapsed. Ask Budget Employment Service Centre Pte Ltd to set out these terms in the agency contract before you sign.
