SINGAPORE - The Ministry of Manpower is probing social enterprise Red Crowns Senior Living for potentially flouting the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act.
“Notably, some of RCSL’s clients had indicated to MOM that they were unaware of their legal liabilities as employers, such as being responsible if MDWs sustained a work-related injury or failed to receive timely salary payment,” a spokesman for MOM told ST.
Mr Ahravin said he has had no issues with the arrangements so far. “With the rising costs of caring for an aged parent, this is the best solution. My father has companions around his age, and the maid has emotional support from the other maid. That was what I told the officers,” he said. But the authorities are concerned if such an unusual model for elder care has breached regulations, said labour law experts.
When contacted, Mr Goh said RCSL is “given the authority by, and work closely with, the elderly and their families to choose and hire the MDWs, who are are employed on better than market terms and work with the employers at the specified residence”.
