      Is it a normal practice to give your long term part time maid one month ang bao on CNY?

      I usually give $80 as a token of appreciation.

        Is there a principle for giving? Is it based on length of service or like a certain multiple of the amount we normally give?

My pt helper has been helping me with the (mostly) ironing since my 2nd pregnancy in 2009 and never accepted extra money when she stayed longer than agreed. In the first 2 years of CNY, I gave her $50 and gave her $80 (a nicer significance since she is from China) for the last 2 years. It was a token of appreciation on my part. I also gave the Malay building cleaning auntie a small token on special days because I am appreciative that she keeps the building clean and always helped arrange our shoes when she doesn't have to (she did that even before the red packets).

                Both would have broken employment laws.

                        [quote="dathan-adiel"]Hi, I have a part time maid who has been with me for about a 5 months now. But hubby and I decided to hire a full time maid so I am helping my PT maid look for a new PT cleaning job. PM me for her contact number. I highly recommend her as she is clean in the house, honest and she value her work a lot. Her rate is 12/hr and is available every sunday. Thanks
