This is the genuine MOM PDF, unmodified. Source: MOM official page.
What is Security Bond (Regulation 12)?
The form is issued under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act and Regulation 12 of the Employment of Foreign Manpower (Work Passes) Regulations. By signing it, the company acknowledges itself bound to pay the Government of the Republic of Singapore SGD$5,000 per work pass holder, or such sums as the Controller of Work Passes may specify from time to time.
It sets out the conditions the employer must observe: prompt payment of salary, upkeep and maintenance including medical treatment, acceptable accommodation, bearing the full cost of repatriation, producing a worker to the Controller when required, employing workers in line with their Work Pass and Regulatory Conditions, and informing the Controller in writing within seven days of any completion, termination or resignation. Breaching any of them puts the obligation into force and the amount shown in the Letter of Guarantee can be forfeited in part or in whole. The form is marked to be signed once only, and the obligation stays in force as long as the Letter of Guarantee is valid.
