joanne_mas:To tell the truth, I will gladly give maid her off days since Sundays we are out. The thing is DH wants her to tag along. I understand that if we give her off days it is up to her whether she wants to go out or not. We need not pay her for her off days if we do not need her to work. YupOn the other hand, if say maid wants a off day and does not want us to compensate if we want her to work, it is her right, right? We cannot force her to work, right?Yup I'm just asking in advance :SYou're correct. You cannot force her to work on her day off. She works on her day off only if she is willing to do so, and only if you ask her to do so. Don't exert any pressure on her to do so.
