Upon completion or termination of your maid's employment, you must ensure that your maid is deported to her origin countries by using Check Out Memo. This is to remove her employment records from you.

This Check Out Memo mainly involves resignation, dismissal, expiry of contract, resignation due to illness, etc. The main purpose of doing this COM is to protect the legal status of labor visa holders from being blacklisted by Malaysia Immigration. If the employer fails to declare COM, it will affect your quota for applying for a maid in the future and you will also need to pay a fine.

The Check Out Memo is issued to foreign workers/ foreign domestic helpers to facilitate their return to their country of origin.
