It is a shame to attack others. We are here to share our experience and not to argue that which is right or wrong. Everyone has his/her own belief or philosophy of life and it is rather impolite by pointing at somebody's 'bad' or even advocating them. Your good may be somebody's posion. My philiosophy is pretty simple, for something good it seemed to me, i would take it, for others that I dont feel so good, I simply ignore it and would not 'criticize' it. So far, I found many BK moms are here to help each other. Right?!
I live in Hong Kong for so many years and I believe that the diversity of life here deserves a diversity of treatment for things.
it depends on how late is late. if she's 5 minutes late, I would tell her not be late again. so far my maid has been working for me for 2.5 yrs and she always comes home on time, i.e. 9pm
i'm glad to see that (it's her 2nd contract with me)
'My experience is that if the maid continues to breach the rules after receiving your verbal warnings, they have no intention to work and better terminate their contract for good. '
Don't argue any more. It's already off topic.
I think everyone has the right/freedom to express his own opinion/idea/comment. Take it if you "buy", forget it if you don't.
Different people have different standards. As long as the helper and the employers have compromised on a certain schedule, one would expect both parties to honour their words.
Legally the helpers are entitled to be released from her (presumably a female) duties for not less than continuously 24 hours.
Practically it is necessary to set them a schedule of what time to leave and go back home. We are talking about living together with the helper, and the helper's schedule will affect the whole family.
When a helper gets up at 5am to wash her hair and in the process wakes up the whole family, what shall the employer do?
When the helper returns home later than the agreed time and the employer fights his/her desire to sleep and instead keeps on waiting for the helper, what shall the employer do?
We need to balance the helper's right of "not having to work for continuously 24 hours" and the employer's right of "not having to put up with the helper's odd hours which affect the employer's own life style".
It all boils down to agreeing on a reasonable time schedule. Whether the time schedule is reasonable or not is subject to the negotiation between the employer and the helper. Again, both parties are expected to follow the schedule once they give their words. If any party is not happy about it or wants to change, there is always room for further discussion.
