Is $450 min salary now for all maids regardless of experienc
-
Littlefly: Yeah. It is even easier if she wants to go home in December instead. I usually withheld that month’s salary (some withheld 2 months) when my maid goes for her home leave because:
1. In case she changes her mind about coming back.
2. So that she won’t be penniless when she is back - they usually spend every last penny while back for home leave. -
Littlefly:
Let her go lah....if she wanna go and you stop her, she may create problem. Not worth it. Make her pay her own airfare, let her take her money lah. It's her money what. No big deal. Technically is her money, no right to hold back lah. (hope no one bash me for saying this :nailbite:Help! Now my maid claims she need to be back in Dec to attend a relative wedding!
What do I need to do to enable that ?
Do u need to go thru agency to do that if she has been with me for less than 2 years ?
Now headache w all this...
) Tell her if she come back and complete the 2 years then you reimburse her the airfare and her 2 week pay lor. Like that she don't come back also no loss, only troublesome to get new maid, but better than if she try to be funny here. Just what I will do, but many others may feel otherwise.

Thank you all for your advises.
Yes. I will let her take her home leave earlier. The air tic I told her i pay half first then when she returns then I reimburse the other half. Will tell her if she don’t wish to extend after contract ends in March 2013 then I will use her own pay to buy the return ticket. Maybe I should withhold her one month’s pay in case I bought insurance n extend WP spent like $300+ n then she change her mind about going home later.
She also opened a FDW account which needs min $500 to maintain. She said she won’t close it coz she wanted to renew w me but taking her home leave earlier only.
What will happen to the account if she don’t returns ? -

You can always approach the bank and seek advise. If the maid never return, close the account, hold the money for six month. If there is no news from the maid, donate the money to charity.Thank you all for your advises.

There is always a risk when maid go for home leave. They may not come back to work after their family brain wash them. I have no experience in this, but have seen it happening to few of my friends maid. -
