The Human resources minister has suggested to enforce a weekly once off-day for domestic maid working in Malaysia. Today's paper carries views from the employers - majority disagreed with their own - perhaps valid reasons...
First and foremost , dealing with maids are not easy... especially the worker-employer gender is the same - female... I am not saying all but majority are difficult to manage...
As employer , please treat maid with some respect. Like :-
a. assigned specific jobs for them ; like you employ a clerk in your office you have job discription right? ..i have seen maid - doing house work ,washing cars,lorries and van .. attending the the employer's kids and also the husband's need??
b. do not ask your maid to work in your relative or friend's house whenever you visit them...
c. talk to them and understand their need and requirement - respect their privacy
d. do not over pamper your maid - draw a line BUT no slavery treatment
e. A one day off - can be even in your house - let her relax....
think about it!!
