How is the first six months of the MDW employment calculated?

Updated by MOM 2y ago

The 6-month period is calculated from the start of the MDW’s employment to the date of work permit cancellation, or date of written request to the EA for termination, whichever is earlier.

This information is sourced from MOM.

I am an employment agent. Can I pro-rate the amount of fees to be refunded to the employer based on the period of termination within the first six months (e.g., refund 25% of the fees if the MDW is terminated within the first three months)?

Why allow a fee refund only if a worker's employment is terminated within 6 months? Why not allow it within 1 year or for the entire duration of the employment contract?
