i disagree on giving mobile phone......
but my maid had 3 mobile phones (so rich), like to send sms even day time......before she even use my home phone to chat until we forbid her to use. But who knows, she may use the phone when we are working. As long as she make less mistake at work, i have nothing to say.
It is very true that the more they use their phone, the more careless mistakes you will find. And they will easily forget things becaues their mind is at their friends, not in your home.
我請我工人時份合約已經寫明唔准工人出手提。但係在工人生日時,佢話家姐買左個手提比佢做生日禮物。我同我公問佢要個手提做咩,因為我每兩個星期就比工人打電話返屋企,如果要找家姐我都會幫佢SMS,話完之後,我老公問佢知唔知合約寫明唔可以出手提,佢話知,跟住我老公叫佢寫封信寫明工作時間唔可以用電話,或比我地見到個電話,如果唔係就帶佢返agent到。So far I haven't seen her use the phone. I also told her I will send the letter to the agent law.
I also gave phone to my maid. One is signed for only contact employer not for her personnel call. This phone is using added value SIM card in order to control the no of calls.
We will give her another one if we are out on Friday or Saturaday night for dinner and borrow her on her holiday. We paid the 1st $50 value and add value by her.
I think give her the phone, we can control it more than they buy it by themselves.
If you don't let them have the phone, they are no face!
