I would tell her that she's under probation. If she's performing, and Trustable, Maybe 1 yr Down the Road, will consider her request ....

JTS… took my maid to the embassy yesterday to sign the contract. She needs one when she makes her KTKLN in Indonesia. On the contract, among other things, it state the salary and no. of day-offs in a month. And it is stated that upon completion of the 2-yr contract, we must purchase her a return ticket for home leave; else compensated with the value of such ticket… blah blah blah…


My first maid, I gave her $20 - she spent it on frivolous things within a week! I also gave her off-day from first month onward - she was dressed in spaghetti straps and tights and my then 3-yr old claimed that "kakak so sexy because want to let the men see!!". And she asked for advance salary to "buy things". She sent her back to the agency after about a month.

My second (current) maid, I did the same thing. She bought a phone card to call back home. And then, she didn’t want to go out because "no money"… and when she did, she wore long sleeves and long pants. I let her go home for 17 days last hari raya (by then only worked >1 year), and coming one, 1.5 weeks. I withheld her salary in case she doesn’t come back, and she doesn’t ask for salary advance. So, like I say, not the smartest or the most hardworking, definitely the slowest worker… but otherwise I take that for someone I have to live with, not that bad already… so I am keeping her till end of next year… then, see what happens.

Stranffan, how much is the salary stated by the indo embassy? Is it like the Philip maid contract US400?
