Quick answer

Fee questions need agreement terms and source boundaries

MOM provides service agreement, refund, and template guidance for employment agencies [mom-ea-templates-forms][mom-ea-service-agreement-faq][mom-ea-service-fee-refund].

This page does not publish Anson Mae Manpower fee tables or quote a case; it points to the source checks employers should do before asking for follow-up.
