Hi there

can i check there is now a new component called Safety agreement for first time or transfer FDW, one portion of it needs endorsement by Agency.

So how then if I wish to direct hire? Is this agreement necessary?

Comment on Foreigners vs Locals by Amy Iljas

Hi mbak, salam kenal
Persoalannya di seluruh dunia kayaknya sama ya. Kalo di UK, cuma chavas yang suka rasis dg foreigners. Mereka iri karna foreigners (mayoritas iri dg yang Asia) yang kuliah di UK tajir semua (ya orang Asia yg bisa kuliah di LN kan memang mampu), kemudian mereka juga iri dengan kesempatan kerja dan kualitas hidup.

Jaman 2008 dulu sempet wacana British jobs for british people dikeluarin, untuk meningkatkan level tenaga kerja local, disamping ada juga insentif untuk perusahaan yang ngambil local people, dsb dsb..

Ternyata? Hasilnya, sama aja tuh. The problem is their mentality. Sempet BBC wawancara beberapa business owners gt. Perusahaan ngambil 3 orang untuk interview sebuah posisi waiter, 2 orang local, 1 pelajar Asia (kebetulan dari Indo). 2 orang local ini dateng cuma karna mereka butuh ttd si interviewer (untuk klaim uang tenaga kerja, bahwa mereka dateng wawancara), udah nanya kapan bisa cuti, mengeluh akan jam kerja, dsb.. Sementara si pelajar Indo, dateng naik kereta dari Edinburgh ke south west UK (which is bisa more than 3 jam), pake dasi, baju rapi. Diambillah si pelajar ini jadi waiter, within 2 years time, dia akhirnya jadi manager salah satu bar tsb.

Intinya? Aku rasa sih yang pola pikirnya merasa bahwa foreigners mengambil jatah local, cuma chavas yang gak ada nilai juangnya, (no edu, no skills, and absolutely no life). Wajar mereka mikir gitu, gak perlu pake orang asing, dengan sesama local pun mereka gak bisa bersaing and have no value.

omar: i believe most of the clinics should have those facilities. i live in the east, most of the clinics in the area would have it, or if they don’t, they wud make a referral to the clinic that has.

hi lucky,
yes i also have a contract with my maid. it helps to protect both myself and her. as for SIP and check up, i took it upon myself to pay for them. but i’m sure there are employers who would ask the FDW to pay for those themselves.
