2. If an employer hires a migrant worker to work as a family caregiver and, due to reasons not attributable to the employer, the whereabouts of the migrant worker is unknown and have not been detected by the immigration and police authorities for one month, they may also apply for a replacement.

If the employer has any employment questions regarding hiring migrant workers, they can consult with Golden Brother International for possible solutions to deal with various circumstances.
