      Maid complaint employer made her wash plates at mil pl. I didn't know its not right until officer said maid is not suppose to do house chore except WP stated address. So I asked officer, 'can I ask her sit outside corridor n eat? Also give her a pile of water to wash her own plate?'

      The officer not correct lei. If the maid main chore is to take care of baby and during the day baby is at MIL house.. how not the maid be in MIL house?

      Hi Einney, please be mindful as leaving maid other than WP address is illegal. Pray hard maid don't complaint. You may check with MOM on this issue. We all know 80% of us will leave maid with MIL or mother, but as per MOM ruling, chores must be perform at registered address. Not even taking dog for walk. If dog register under different address from WP, maid also can complaint. :mad:[/quote]I remember reading in newspaper some time ago, MOM said it is ok to send maid and child to grandma's place. But maid is there to only look after the employer's kid(s). Not to do housework.
      I think he also said it's ok to send maid to look after employer's parent. Again, not including housework for the other household.

        So the maid only looks after the employer’s child in grandparents’ place…attend to employer’s kid only…like HDB fire insurance…only insure contents in address stated and nothing/no one else, pets included.

          parents normally send maid + child to grandma house.

          if after dinner can’t ask maid to wash up bowls, cups, plates, then who wash ?

          if MOM say maid can’t wash bowls, cups after meal at another house other than employer’s house -
          then if maid eat dinner at grandma house (cooked by ah ma), who is going to wash the maid’s bowl ? grandma herself ?
          wah ! then isn’t the maid being treated like a queen ?

            HDB insurance where got insure contents? Thought it's for structure only? Contents usually a separate optional insurance.

              like I said, these are just laws.
              Do you think you maid will really complain if you have been treating your maid reasonably well?

                  IF the laws are such, even when the maid doesn't complain we are STILL against the law and MOM still has a case IF we are \"caught\" :shock:

                    So, when family have dinner at mil or mom's house, must divide up the dishes/bowls/cutlery etc into those used by employer, employer's spouse, employer's children and maid. Can only wash those used by these, but not used by parents or parents in law? Then the wok used to cook the food for everybody is considered what? :scratchhead:

                    Wait a minute, are parents and parents-in-law considered family?
