Agency Fee

Maid agencies charge agency fees for several reasons:

• Recruitment and Screening: The agency takes care of the recruitment process, which includes advertising, interviewing, and selecting candidates based on their skills and experience. This process can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.
  
  

• Training: Some agencies provide basic training to the maids before they start working. This covers areas like cooking, cleaning, childcare, or eldercare, depending on the needs of the client.
  
  

• Documentation and Legalities: The agency handles all the paperwork related to employment contracts, visa processing, and other legal requirements. This can be a complex process that requires a good understanding of labor laws and immigration rules.
  
  

• Replacement and Conflict Resolution: If for some reason the maid is unable to continue working (due to illness, personal issues, etc.), the agency will provide a replacement. They also help resolve any disputes or issues that may arise between the employer and the maid.
  
  

• Follow-up Services: Many agencies also provide ongoing support and services such as performance monitoring, counselling, and advice on work-related matters.
  
  

• Profit Margin: Lastly, a portion of the fee goes towards the agency’s profit margin. Like any other business, maid agencies need to earn a profit to sustain their operations and grow their business.
