Gan Siow Huang on mandatory rest day for MDWs
Households have different arrangements for their migrant domestic workers (MDWs) to take the rest day which cannot be compensated away. It is important for both sides to agree on the best arrangement. Those who need help to work this out can call the Ministry of Manpower's hotline. They can also seek advice from neutral third parties like employment agencies, as well as free dispute resolution services. Minister of State for Manpower Gan Siow Huang said this in reply to an MP's question in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 2). As the mandatory rest day rule will kick in towards the end of this year, employers and MDWs have time to adjust.
