      If maid leaves after 1 yr of 2 yr contract, what are they financially liable for? Thanks.

      Hi Katherineeng,

      Unfortunately they are not liable. And as the employer, you are responsible to send her home, that is to buy her an air ticket. There's nothing we can do.

      I usually negotiate for 50% each if I can. They know that we need to arrange for their return and the \"fate\" is in our hands. Most of the time, especially if i have young kid(s) at home, i just resign to my fate as i dont want them to turn violent and become \"crazy\". I just let them go but will buy the cheapest ticket possible. That is, it will not be the next 2 or 3 days flights as it tends to be more expensive. I usually say, no flight and i will let them know when there is flight. And even after i book, i wont tell them the date till the day before, so that they will not have much time (or less time) to do something \"bad\" things (hopefully)
