Lets rephrase the statement above. How would YOU like it if you were paid minimum wage levels and then asked to work beyond YOUR stated 8 hours for NOTHING?Strong Eagle wrote:So... how many hours a day do you think you ought to be able to work her without additional compensation?
Damn right you should pay her... she get's up in the morning... works for you all day... then babysits at night... and when is her free time?
Would you force other employees to work overtime without compensation?
It's about fairness and responsibility. You are asking her to be responsible for your kids. That is different than being completely on her own.missis wrote:Yes but if the maid is living in and the kid is in bed already, I don't see why I need to pay extra. It's not as if she has a trek home after we get in!
Would also point out that (in our case anyway) our maid has a decent-sized room, eats the food that we eat and doesn't go out during the week (her choice).
or extra holidays in between contracts when she is going home...aster wrote:Sounds very fair to me. The hours can build up and then the family could give the maid a full day off during the weekend while they spend time together somewhere.Strong Eagle wrote:As an alternative to pay, additional time off is also an option
