as SMS mentioned, MOM has gone after employers who bring their maids to apparently sit in their shops or help clean dishes / tables in the employer's own coffee shop, and fined the employers even when the employer was giving the maid extra pay!!!martincymru wrote:Is a maid working in one household allowed to work in another?
How so? The dog lives at the same residence. She walking the dog, not minding the dog living at a different place. Same with shopping, she is doing work directly related to the maintenance of the household where she is employed. There is no problem with either of them, however, if the dog was permanently at a relative's house and she had to spend every day at the relative's house to take care of the dog, THEN it would be illegal.x9200 wrote:So basically walking a dog and doing shopping is also illegal.FDWs may only be deployed to work at another address if:
Their duties in their employer’s home includes looking after the employer’s young children or elderly parents; and
They are at the other address to continue their duty of looking after the employer’s young children or elderly parents.

Only if in attendance of children who are the direct descendants of the maids employer. I looked into this as my son stays with his mother in a different house... if my FDW is looking after him she can be in the other house for duties related to his care (only).martincymru wrote:Is a maid working in one household allowed to work in another?

She walks the dog and does the shopping outside of the residence place and she is only allowed to do work at the residencel place. Permanently is not the criteria. If it was, a temporary cleaning at someones house would be allowed.sundaymorningstaple wrote:How so? The dog lives at the same residence.

Then you're fine. But this is the first time you gave this crucial detail that makes all of the difference.Sergei82 wrote:Hardly I run any risk of being fined. The maid was with wife's kid (my stepson) and us, wife is the employer. I do not see any law prohibiting cleaning around the kid occasionally wherever he is. Or kid must be in dirt? In any case, for my house the main source of cleaning services was a coming local maid (once per 2 weeks) and me myself.
Sorry, my wife is much more knowledgeable about it, so I omitted out of lack of experience.zzm9980 wrote:Then you're fine.
