How much will you spend on maid's dental cost

Wak:
aiyoh...still wait for wat...maid already give problem...send her bak and not given poblem to arder people...ok?Thanks for all your advice!
I just found out that my maid was talking to a guy on the phone today.
She is only here for 8months and hasn't paid off her loan. But already got someone's phone number and talking to a stranger on the phone. She had been telling me that was her sister. Lying is not acceptable for us. So no matter what she has to go.
However I am not sure what to do with my maid as my agency has closed down and there is no one to help me. Should I just send her back to country? -

aiyoh....pay for everything ....maid then steal from you... you still give $2000 dollares farewell gift... real or not leh.......like dat you teach the maid wat?...can steal ....then emmployer still give money...why like dat?...Last time, I paid everything for my filipino maid. And after 6 years with us, she repaid us by stealing from my bedridden mum. In the end, I send her home, but I still gave her $2000 farewell gift. I would have given her more (it was our intention all along to give all our going home maids some money) if not for the stealing.
Nowadays , I have learnt not to be overly nice. Dont expect them to feel appreciative. May be appreciative in the beginning, but after a while, they think it is their entitlement.
Anyway, recently , my current maid broke her denture, cost $380, I did not pay for her.
last maid .....you no pay $380....but she no steal ...she go home ....yu give her $3000 or more farewell gift? .....aiyoh -
aiyoh, aiyoh, $2000 so big sum to you meh , until you think others will lie about it ?
The plan was to give $1000 for each year of service, subject to a maximum cap. So by stealing about two hundreds, she missed out on a few thousand (which is a big sum to you, i gathered)
I am not a teacher nor a moral teacher nor a preacher, I gave them money because they have served as my employee.aiyoh:

To most people, $2000 is alot to give to a maid.aiyoh, aiyoh, $2000 so big sum to you meh , until you think others will lie about it ?

So most of us may find it unbelievable.
Assuming the maid's salary is $500, that's 4 times the amount.
By giving her that amount shows that you are not only rich but very generous! -

$2000 sounds like a lot but based on a $500 salary it's only 2 months bonus for each year of the contract. Some of us get as much or more than that from our employers

I am not super rich nor overly generous.
What I did was, instead of giving her higher increment, I gave her less increment and gave her the rest that i had intended to give her in the first place anyway. Why I did that was because I realised that they dont know how to save, they just spent whatever they have. Their family would keep asking them to send money home.
I do not want my maids to go home with nothing on their back after slogging overseas for several years. Even though most of them are not fantastic maids, but ....
And $2000 sounds big as one lump sum, but if you think about it, it is only $80plus per month for a two year period.carebear:

It was really unfortunate that your maid stole from your mom. I can imagine the disappointment and also perhaps anger that you may have felt. But at the same time, it is admirable that you took into consideration the two years that she spent with your family.
One has to look at the bigger picture sometimes.
And anyway, with regards to maid issues, really, it's to each his own lah.
My 2 cents

Huh ? ē§ęéēå µļ¼ Anyway, I am a busy mother of 4, I am not interested to be enaged in this kind of meaningless discussion.
The author asked how much we willing to spend on maid's dental cost. I have already said I will not pay any amount. Case closed. No more interest in this topic.aiyoh:

But I believe that what aiyoh was asking was, Is the employer also rewarding someone who stole from you? If that is the case then maids should steal from their employers and get rewarded at the end of their contract.
