Protect Your Helper and Your Family From Uncertainties with Comprehensive and Affordable Insurance

Protect Your Helper and Your Family From Uncertainties with Comprehensive and Affordable Insurance

Get simple, affordable and comprehensive maid insurance in Singapore to protect your helper and your family as well!

Think about this – on average, how many times a day does someone call for your helper in your household? From your child’s missing sock to ironing the dress you chose for your next meeting, to packing lunch, helpers really play an important role in ensuring that daily life goes on smoothly for us.

But many of us do end up taking things for granted, and overlook the fact that they are just as susceptible to illness and unforeseen circumstances as we are. Here’s how you can get simple, affordable and comprehensive maid insurance to protect your helper, and ensure you don’t get stressed out when things go wrong! 

Why the Need for Comprehensive Maid Insurance 

Your helper is a part of your family. As such, it is important to get her covered with insurance, just as you would for any other family member. As an employer, you should be responsible for your helper’s medical expenses and general well-being.

Moreover, maid insurance is a government-required insurance policy that will protect you from any cost incurred due to your helper’s illnesses, accidents and other unforeseen circumstances. This is necessary as she is not protected by the Work Injury Compensation Act. 

Is it an additional cost? Yes, but in paying for maid insurance, you are potentially saving yourself from bigger costs as you know only too well that hospitalisation expenses do not come cheap in Singapore.  This is especially so now that we are living in the midst of a global pandemic.

Simple & Straight-Forward Maid Insurance for Stressful Situations  

When your helper falls ill or worse, is hospitalised, it will indeed be a trying time for the entire family. In addition to the disruption of daily routines, it can be frustrating and nerve-wracking not knowing what to do. 

Furthermore, if you are unsure of what to do, your helper may feel helpless. Many employers end up repatriating their helpers when they fall ill. This may be the only option in some cases but oftentimes, your helper can seek treatment that does not have to come out of your pocket with comprehensive and affordable maid insurance.

Where possible, we would want to stand by our helpers during their time of need, after all, they have done for our families.
