Placement fees at maid agencies in Singapore typically range from S$1,500 to S$3,500 for a new-hire helper and S$500 to S$1,500 for a transfer helper. On top of the placement fee, you will pay the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 concessionary if your household includes a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability). Confirm what is bundled into the placement fee — mandatory FDW insurance (approximately S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, pre-deployment medical examination, and Work Permit application are sometimes included and sometimes billed separately.

Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore must hold an MOM Employment Agency (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; an A+ or A grade signals stronger compliance and complaint-handling track records. At the time of this listing, no MOM EA Licence has been recorded for JMS Management & Resources. Hiring through an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if a placement fails, and can void your FDW insurance. Verify the licence number directly on MOM's EA directory before paying any deposit. 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.

A standard replacement guarantee from a licensed maid agency typically covers a window of six months from the helper's arrival date, with one or more free replacements included. Confirm how many replacements are covered, what circumstances void the guarantee (for example, buyer's remorse versus a documented mismatch in skills or temperament), and what you would pay for any additional replacement outside the guarantee terms. Also clarify the early-termination process — if the placement breaks down outside the guarantee window, the household is responsible for repatriation flight costs, Work Permit cancellation paperwork, and the refund of any unused MOM levy. As JMS Management & Resources has not published these terms publicly, request them in writing before signing any agreement.
