Seminar and Dialogue for Foreign Maids
The Manpower Department (JTK) will organise Seminar and Dialogue for Foreign Maids nationwide starting end of March 2010. The Seminar and Dialogue for Foreign Maids is made compulsory for all Employers and newly-employed foreign maids to attend. A half-day course amongst other will provide info to both parties on their rights and responsibilities to each other.
The parties must participate in the course within six months from the time the maids enter the country. Representatives of employment agencies would also join in the course as there had been complaints against the agencies as well.
The Human Resources Ministry would get the list of new maids entering the country from the Immigration Department and use it to notify the parties supposed to attend the compulsory course. In May last year, the Malaysian Employers Federation had appealed to the ministry to organise induction courses, as the foreign trainers conducting such courses in source countries might not be familiar with the local culture here.
All newly-employed maids will be given The the employment of foreign maids guidebook for reference. The guidebook outlined the role and responsibilities of each party in the service contract; as well as hotline numbers, websites and addresses of related agencies such as the Immigration Department, JTK and police.
