According to MOM laws, workers with work permits aren't allowed to get pregnant or give birth in Singapore unless they marry Singaporeans or other authorized permanent residents.

As soon as an employer learns about this, they should let MOM know and end the helper's contract. Employers are required to notify MOM's Work Pass Division via their web portal in accordance with MOM requirements. The maid's work permits must therefore be revoked, and she must be sent back to her own nation.

If employers don't do this, the $5,000 security deposit could be lost.

Who is responsible for covering the MDW's medical costs?

As an Employer, you are expected to cover any expenses related to keeping your MDW in good health, including any medical expenses.
