Minimum wages for FT???
Well done PAP.
New rules for hiring Myanmar maids cover minimum monthly wage, day off
By Amelia Tan
After years of not actively enforcing what it once regarded as an illicit cross-boundary trade, Myanmar has legalised the export of maids and drawn up rules to better protect its women abroad.
The rules have been communicated to agents in Singapore in recent weeks, three of which will affect employers here.
First, Myanmar maids must receive a minimum monthly wage of $450.
Second, they must get at least a day off in a month, according to Myanmar newspaper reports.
