SINGAPORE - She was in the Philippines on home leave, but her employer in Singapore terminated her work permit before she could even return.
This is an example of employers taking extreme measures in response to the Ministry of Manpower announcement on March 15 that all new or returning FDWs must serve a 14-day stay-home notice. A spokesman for the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics , a charity advocating migrant workers' rights, said some FDWs have had their salaries withheld because they spent their rest day outside, against their employers' wishes.
He added:"Employers have legitimate concerns, especially those with elderly parents or young children at home." Mr Khan added that it was hard to draw the line between simple favours and extra work that FDWs should be paid for.
