@tapirs.greens: Domestic helper’s work schedule exceeds 17 hours daily, sparks concerns from NGO A domestic helper’s gruelling work schedule has drawn attention from the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (HOME), a non-governmental organisation advocating for migrant workers’ rights in Singapore. According to the schedule, Ria’s day starts at 5.30am and extends until 11pm, leaving little to no personal time. Her tasks include mopping floors, washing clothes, preparing meals for her employer’s family, and other household chores. The schedule is highly detailed, specifying exact times for tasks like ironing, folding clothes, and cutting fruits. However, it lacks any mention of allocated meal times for Ria. Has to work even on rest days Ria’s schedule extends beyond her daily chores. Six days a week, she is tasked with additional duties such as washing the car, cleaning the balcony, or changing bedsheets. Every two months, she must wash curtains and sofa covers, and once every three months, assist her employer with cleaning the air conditioner. In its Facebook post, HOME shared that Ria described herself as “perpetually exhausted as she was required to adhere to the schedule strictly”. Even her designated rest days — granted just once a month — are far from restful. She is only allowed to leave the house at 10am after completing her chores and must return by 4pm to resume them. #sgnews #tiktoksg #work #singapore
