To ensure your maid receives adequate mental and physical rest, MOM suggests providing her with one regular day off per week. However, if your maid consents to work on her rest days, you are obligated to compensate her with at least one day’s salary.
Employers often inquire about calculating one day’s salary for compensation when the maid works on her rest day. The calculation is straightforward: divide your helper’s monthly basic salary by 26 days to determine the daily rate that must be paid as compensation.

To prevent conflicts between you and your maid, it’s strongly advised to document your agreement regarding her off-days.
On her initial off-day excursion, provide clear directions for navigating to her destination and returning home.
This guidance is particularly helpful if she’s unfamiliar with transportation in Singapore or your neighborhood. It aids her in acclimating and planning her day, ensuring she can return home at the agreed-upon time.
