They must either obtain the worker’s landlord’s confirmation, book a hotel room or secure a dormitory room for the worker, MOM said.Under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act, employers are responsible for the workers’ accommodation. Those who need help housing their employees can contact MOM at 1800 333 9999 or mom_qops@mom.gov.sg.
To make sure that workers keep to their LOA, MOM said it will revoke the work pass of the employee and take measures against the employer if the authorities find that the employee breached the LOA requirements. Members of the public can also report to MOM if they find someone flouting the LOA requirements via mom_qops@mom.gov.sg or 6438 5122.
According to the Ministry of Health’s guidelines, people on LOA must keep to rules such maintaining a record of people they have came in close contact with during the LOA leave of absence, and minimise time spent in public spaces.
