Ready Employment Pte Ltd ✓ ACRA Verified

Placement fees at maid agencies in Singapore typically run S$1,500–3,500 for a new-hire helper and S$500–1,500 for a transfer helper already in Singapore. Contact Ready Employment Pte Ltd directly to confirm their specific fee schedule, and ask for a full written breakdown before committing. Beyond the placement fee, your ongoing costs include the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 at the concessionary rate if your household has a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability). Confirm whether mandatory FDW insurance (~S$300–600/year), the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application are bundled into the placement fee or charged on top.

Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore must hold a MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, which is verifiable by name or licence number on MOM's online EA directory. No EA Licence is recorded in this listing — confirm the licence number directly with Ready Employment Pte Ltd and cross-check it on the MOM directory before paying any deposit. The EA Grading (A+ to C) is also worth checking; A+ and A grades signal stronger compliance and complaint-handling track records. Engaging an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if issues arise, and can void your FDW insurance. This is a key step that should not be skipped regardless of referrals or reviews. 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.

Standard replacement guarantees at Singapore maid agencies typically cover a window of six months from the helper's arrival date. Within this period, one or more replacements are usually included if the placement is a documented mismatch — though guarantees may be voided if the breakdown is attributed to the employer's conduct rather than a genuine placement issue. Confirm the number of replacements included, the conditions that trigger or void the guarantee, and the cost of any replacements beyond what is covered. Also clarify the early-termination process — if a placement breaks down outside the guarantee window, the household carries the cost of the repatriation flight, Work Permit cancellation paperwork, and any unused levy. Getting these terms in writing before signing the agency contract protects you from unexpected costs. 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.
