Hello everyone,


Do we still need to pay for maid’s 8 months loan when getting a new maid?

Hi,


Just like to check can maid resign?

My sister has a good maid with her for a year (register under my sister). We can rely on her for babies (1yr old) meals, feeding or sleeping with her. But recently, my brother-in-law is not getting along well with her (scold or scream at the maid).

Now the maid refuse to continue working for him. Can she choose to resign? My brother in law claims that he will sue her if she quit. Can he?

TIA !

If maid wants to leave we cannot stop them sigh

But I am afraid if the maid will to resign, my brother in law will sue her for non-fulfillment of contract which suppose to end only next year. We plan to re-employ her under my mum's name lor.... :slapshead:

I dun think your brother in law can sue the maid for this. Based on the what I see on the contract, either party can terminate the contract by giving x days notice. I think most contracts you signed at the agency has this clause.

So what’s the contract for, if not to bind each other? Like my maid. The moment she finished her loan, she cockily exclaimed that she wanted to leave. Wah, like that win already. Contract for what?!


Anyway, thanks to all for your advice. Guess we are sending her back to her country. Grant her the wish. But not going to tell her when. Hiak hiak. I only told her before Aug 15.

My indonesian maid also use western union.


Wa! sue maid??!!! First I heard. I don’t think its worth it. If this goes through, the court case won’t be just between your BIL and the maid. It will be between your BIL and the embassy.
It’s quite unusual for man not to get along with maid. I thought it is the womenfolk.

We cant sue maid with that contract cos u surely lose. cos the contract is to "protect" maid not us in the first place… they can go anytime they want, even before finishing loan… but we are stuck with it…


i heard quite a number of cases of maid decided to leave when the man starts to come in the the picture… i think man should just leave it to woman to handle. less problem.( does not mean no problem la)
