If you are a household employer in Singapore with a Philippine maid, you may be wondering how you can renew their contract. Here`s what you need to know.

1. Check the expiry date of your maid`s work permit. Your maid`s work permit is valid for two years, after which it needs to be renewed. You should receive a renewal notice from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) approximately three months before the work permit expires.

2. Apply for a renewal of your maid`s work permit. You can apply for a renewal of your maid`s work permit online through the MOM`s website. You will need to provide your maid`s personal information, employment information, and medical information. You will also need to upload a recent passport-sized photograph of your maid. The application fee for the renewal is S$35.

3. Arrange for your maid to undergo a medical examination. As part of the renewal process, your maid will need to undergo a medical examination at a Singapore-registered clinic or hospital. The medical examination is to ensure that your maid is in good health and does not pose a risk to public health. The examination will include tests for infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV.

4. Sign a new employment contract. Once the renewal application has been approved, you will need to sign a new employment contract with your maid. The contract should include details such as the job scope, salary, and work hours. You can download a standard employment contract from the MOM`s website.

5. Purchase additional insurance coverage. As a household employer, you are required to purchase insurance coverage for your maid. The insurance should cover medical expenses, personal accident, and repatriation expenses. You may also want to consider purchasing additional coverage for your maid, such as critical illness coverage.

6. Complete the renewal process. Once you have completed all the above steps, you can collect the renewed work permit for your maid from the MOM`s office. You should also inform your maid`s employment agency of the renewal.

Renewing your Philippine maid`s contract in Singapore may seem like a daunting task, but by following these steps, you can ensure that the process is smooth and hassle-free. Remember to start the renewal process early to avoid any last-minute complications.
