I think dependent on the agency. One of my agent said I have to let the maid stay with me for max 21 days or until she finds a new employer. If i cant allow her to stay with me then I pay for her boarding until she gets new employer. In the meantime I was quite pissed cos as and when she kept asking my maid to go to her office whenever there's an interview which is unfair cos I'm paying the maid salary but she goes out with the agent for half a day, many times.. Sometimes agent even bring her to potential employer's house to interview.
But my current agent asked me to bring my maid to him the moment I asked for a transfer at no cost. The maid will stay at his place/office where any potential employers can interview her.
I transferred my previous maid cos she was very dishonest and caught red handed by me many times. Before that I had already confirmed my new maid. I did ask my agent if i can send her back cos she did so many things behind our back that could just cause trouble for future employers but agent advised not to cos of her outstanding loan that I can't recover and on top of it I still must pay for her air tic. So no choice. I can only go to MOM website and write to them a feedback on her... hopefully employers like me can do the same so we don't give such problem maids a chance to cause trouble to other families.
