I Want to Break My Employment Contract with My Employer, What Should I Do?
Breaking Your Employment Contract as a Migrant Domestic Worker (MDW) in Singapore
If you are a Migrant Domestic Worker (MDW) and want to break your contract with your employer, here’s what you need to know.
1. Do You Need to Serve a Notice Period?
Yes, unless you are being ill-treated, you must serve the standard one-month termination notice or follow the notice period stated in your employment contract. This is a professional and fair way to resign.
2. Why Do You Need to Give Notice?
Your employer has spent time, money, and effort to hire you. If you leave suddenly, they may struggle to find a replacement. Giving proper notice allows them time to make arrangements.
3. What If You Are Being Ill-Treated?
If you are facing abuse, overwork, unpaid salary, or any unfair treatment, you do not have to serve the notice period. Instead, seek help immediately from:
- MOM (Ministry of Manpower) – Contact them at +65 6438 5122
- Your employment agency
- NGOs that support MDWs, such as HOME or FAST
4. Steps to Resign Properly
- Check your contract – Look at the notice period required.
- Inform your employer – Give written notice if possible.
- Complete the notice period – Continue working until your last day.
- Prepare for departure – Ensure your salary is paid in full before you leave.
5. Important Reminders
- If you leave without serving the notice period, your employer can report you for absconding. This may affect your ability to work in Singapore again.
- Always keep records of your salary and conversations with your employer, in case of disputes.
Leaving a job is a big decision, so make sure you understand your rights and obligations before taking action.
