Ok I just checked with a relative and her maid will be back on home leave tonite, started out at 450 less then 20 months ago. Shes a great cook and has worked in Taiwan singapore malaysia and hongkong since she started out at 18. Agent recommended new salary of 520. Normally those with 600 includes off days. My relative is already paying her 520 eventho her contract is 450, so agent left it to my reative to raise another 20 if she wants
i suggest u look at ur job duties to determine her salary, no point paying too much if shes not worth her keep.[/quote]
:thankyou: moonee again for taking the effort to check with relative.
Her performance is consider abv average- only give me black face once a while, loss focus when dating (I guess) cos lots of attention on her personal wellbeing like make-up & fancy dresses ,I had to gave her a wake-up call, then she focus better.
Weighing my 4rm hdb n 3 (2 working adult n 1 school going 7 yrs old kid) members household, I think $500 + weekly day off is win-win for both maid n myself.
DH said no point for negotiating for salary since she only wants $600 + weekly off.
I m just praying hard not to get problematic (eg stealing, tell lie, mental problem, bad attitude) one.

I just hired a maid to care for my parent. the salary is $450 plus extra $17.50 for every Sunday worked. So your $500 + weekly off is good deal for new maids without experience. For those with experience and renewal, they will demand more as they know new maids are starting at this rate. Since your household is small, I agree with you no point paying $600 with weekly off. I pay my maid $650, off once a month. 2 A and 3 kids (secondary schools and JC), plus one dog. Think the ironing of uniform and clothes alone is quite xiong. Plus cleaning of 3 storey house and cooking. Has to wake up early to get breakfast ready for kids. But of course, we do pay her extra, like year end bonus and she get to send all the pre-used shoes, clothes, bags etc that the kids can't or don't use anymore, to her family. She also has a hand me down Samsung Galaxy HP from us, plus a used PC to when she went on home leave last year. Been with us for 9 years already. We pay for her expenses for home leave as well. If she doesn't want to go home that year, we will pay her in lieu.

Thks mummydadeda n moonee.

I would look for new maid who don’t mind $500 n weekly off.
My small household don’t really need to pay $600 + weekly off maid.
So any good agent to recommend? Also any cctv contact?

Any maid to transfer? Preferably early 30s, 1-2yrs experiences n married with children. I can pay $550 with 2days off per month.

Why dnt u try Indon, I m now using an Indon and her salary is 450 with one off day, she does not want to go out on her off day so stays at home and rest for an hour and do light housework. I rang one agent few months back and I think for Indons u need not pay full loan but just monthly check to whoever their supplier is, can give swift employment a call.
