Any increment is down to negotiation between you & the maid. There is no fixed rule.

If you still have a lot of time try the budget airlines but be careful as some of them (Tiger for example) fly into Clark not the main Manila airport; some maids prefer it as they can avoid central Manila but it depends on there they live.

My helper has gone home a few times (airfare and salary paid for) during her two year contract.


Does anyone know if the leave she has already taken can be regarded as in-lieu payment for the end-of-contract home leave? In our contract, it says 15 days paid leave if we wish to recontract.

Her contract expires at a time inconvenient for us to give her 15 days leave.

Thanks.

It's another grey area as strictly speaking they aren't entitled to leave until the 2 years is up. I would suggest that you talk to her and see how she feels; has she confirmed that she wants to renew?

If she wants to go back maybe you can negotiate to go at a different time. One of our previous maids requested to delay for nearly 5 months so that she could go back at Christmas as her daughter's birthday was on Boxing Day.

Did you tell her when she went back previously that it was part of her end of contract home leave? If not, then she may not be happy if you tell her now, although you've been really generous to her by letting her go back several times at your expense. Maybe if you explain to her that her several trips back were over and above her entitlement, and the two of you work out something for the end of contract leave?

She might not be happy but she has returned home to see her family more times than many others.


I just wanted to find out if she is ‘further’ entitled to the 15 days, as in she can turn around and accuse us of not fulfilling our part of the contract.

Thanks.

For renewal, is there still a need to pay the agency any form of fees?
