All About Full-Time Maids

[jojostc]

for my maid, she has reach a point that she refused to follow my mum’s instructions when doing household chores… always thinks that what she does is right…in the end, spoil alot of things in the house. her attitude just getting from bad to worst. to the point she challenge my mum saying " you not happy then send me back to agent"


so i rather send her back home rather than send her back to agent.

Seems that sending her back is the better option as she is so ya ya liao. But did you ever ask the agent to come in to counsel her and let them explain the rationale and duty of her presence in the house.

In this case , send her bk . Teach her a lesson . They always think that they can change employer easily

Hi jojostc,


I agree that you should send her back. If she goes back to the agent, she can ask for higher pay because she has relevant work experience. By sending her back, you’re giving her a clear signal that you are not putting up with any kind of nonsense anymore. You should check your contract, but as long as the loan is fully paid up and you can’t get any refund from the agency, there’s no point informing the agent. You can easily buy the air ticket and cancel the work permit yourself.

You’ll have to handle this diplomatically though. She’s still staying with you so if she gets upset, she can do anything.

Agree that she should be sent back. If you are afraid that she may kick a fuss, tell her on the day of departure, give her enough time to pack and arrange for another agent to send her to the airport.

:rotflmao: This is one thing I find so ridiculous. Maids that cannot make it with their first employers ( and in some cases 2nd or 3 rd employers as well) are deemed to be worthy of higher salary as they are said to have \"experience\" :siao:
I :? why employers are willing to pay more for such maids.
Personally, I would rather take my chances with a brand new inexperienced maid then take one that has that kind of \"experience\" even if the pay is the same for both.

Agree with most of them. Most likely she has been 'influenced' by other maids during her dayoffs - not happy, change employer (BTW, is she under the old 1-mth-1-dayoff scheme or new scheme?). She may be already in conversation with the agent, who could be telling her - not happy, change employer. It is not easy to find a maid but if her attitude doesn't improve, then she becomes a burden. Unless got free replacement within 1st year, it is better to sent her back home than to agent.

Are we able to engage another agent to send her back if we are not getting a new maid from them?

Yes. They usually charge $60-70 to do the job. Just call a few to find out.
