Keep deadline records visible
Compliance work becomes stressful when dates are buried in calendars, drawers or chat history. Put the core dates where the household already reviews operations.
- Work-permit expiry and renewal reminder window
- Passport, insurance or medical-related note dates where relevant
- Emergency contact, nearest clinic or hospital details
Connect compliance to records you already maintain
MOM-related admin is easier when salary, profile and contact details are not separated from the household system the employer already checks.
- Review salary records beside the helper profile
- Keep emergency contacts available to both employer and helper
- Use one app instead of separate calendar, spreadsheet and paper files
Monthly compliance review checklist
A short monthly review catches small record gaps before they become urgent. It should take minutes, not a separate admin afternoon.
- Confirm the latest salary record is saved and acknowledged
- Check whether work-permit or document reminders are approaching
- Review emergency contacts, clinic details and home address accuracy
- Make sure any new household rule is reflected in notes or tasks
What SG Helper should not replace
The app is for household organisation. Official requirements, renewals and legal interpretations still belong with MOM and other official channels.
- Use official MOM services for permit renewal and statutory requirements
- Treat SG Helper reminders as prompts to act, not legal confirmation
- Keep scanned or uploaded records readable and named clearly
- Update the app after official changes so the household record stays current
Frequently asked questions
Does SG Helper replace official MOM services?
No. SG Helper is an organising tool for household records and reminders. Employers should still use official MOM channels for permit applications, renewals and legal requirements.
Which records should I review monthly?
Review salary payment status, petty cash notes, emergency contacts and any upcoming permit or appointment reminders. A monthly check is usually enough unless a deadline is near.
Is SG Helper built specifically for Singapore households?
Yes. SG Helper is designed around Singapore domestic-helper workflows, including MOM deadline reminders, work-permit tracking, salary records, petty cash, grocery lists, and multilingual helper access.
Does my helper need to install an app?
No. SG Helper works as a web PWA on mobile and desktop, so employers and helpers can use it from a browser and add it to the home screen when useful.
