If you're working as a domestic helper in Singapore or planning to start soon, you've probably heard different opinions about using agencies. Some people might tell you it's an unnecessary expense, while others swear by them. Today, I want to talk about why using White Glove to process your paperwork is actually one of the smartest moves you can make.

We Protect Your Interests
Let's be honest – the paperwork involved in domestic helper employment can be overwhelming. Work permits, contracts, insurance... it's a lot to handle on your own. We specialize in making sure everything is done correctly and, most importantly, fairly.
Good agencies understand your rights as a helper. They'll ensure your contract includes fair working hours, proper rest days, and appropriate living conditions. They know what's standard in the industry and can spot red flags that you might miss when you're excited about a new job.
Remember, a properly drawn-up contract protects you. Without one, you might find yourself in difficult situations with no legal recourse.
Faster Paperwork Processing Means Less Waiting
Time is precious, especially when you're waiting to start work or transitioning between employers. Agencies have established relationships with the Ministry of Manpower and know exactly how to navigate the bureaucracy efficiently.
What might take weeks for your employer to figure out on their own can often be completed in days when professionals handle it. They know which forms to fill, what documentation is needed, and how to avoid common mistakes that cause delays.
This means less time waiting and worrying, and more time earning.
Professional Legal Contracts Give Peace of Mind
One of the most valuable services agencies provide is creating proper legal contracts. These aren't just pieces of paper – they're your protection.
A good agency like White Glove will draft contracts that clearly outline:
Your salary and payment schedule
Working hours and rest days
Job scope (what you are and aren't responsible for)
Leave entitlements
Termination terms
Having everything in writing prevents misunderstandings and gives you something to refer to if questions arise. It also ensures you and your employer understand your rights and responsibilities from day one.
Someone to Turn to When Problems Arise
Perhaps the most important benefit of using an agency is having someone to contact if issues come up. Working in someone else's home can sometimes be challenging, and having a professional third party to mediate disagreements can make all the difference.
If your employer isn't following the contract, if there are misunderstandings about your role, or if you face any form of mistreatment, your agency should be there to help resolve these issues. White Glove can provide advice, mediate conversations, or even assist with finding a new placement if necessary.
