WHAT HAPPEN WHEN EMPLOYER PASSED AWAY?
What should the family do if a domestic worker's employer passes away?
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy. We understand that there's a lot to handle during this time.
After taking some time to deal with immediate matters, the family of the employer has a couple of options within a month of the passing:
1. They can either cancel the Work Permit and send the helper back home.
2. Or, they can transfer the helper to another employer or a family member.

To cancel the helper's Work Permit:
- Make sure all employment issues, like unpaid wages, are sorted out with the helper.
- Once everything's settled, the family can either get an employment agency to help cancel the Work Permit online or request the cancellation themselves, providing a copy of the employer's death certificate.
If they choose to transfer the helper to another employer or family member:
- The new employer needs to apply for a Work Permit online and make sure to get a new insurance package.
It's important to handle these steps carefully and with empathy during what's already a tough time for everyone involved.
