            Hi micollh,
            My maid is in her fifth year with me. So far only did once xray (& probably also HIV at the same time). I dunno how frequent is this xray test but dun think is every 6 mths or once a year kind.

              If you have agreed to give a full-day off I think 11-5 is a bit short. Can't you let her go earlier if you want her to be back for dinner? Or if you aren't giving every Sunday, agree to give her 2 half-days instead of 1 full day. We did that with our maid.

              And remember if she doesn't have a key to your place that means you have to be there when she leaves and when she comes back.

                It's usually once every 2 years or so.

                  Usually I let my maid go off for abt 10-12hrs.
