Hello,

what is the average price for a maid working 5 days a week from 9 to 5 pm?

Is she supposed to receive a transport allowance on top of her salary?

Thanks a lot.

Depends on the nationality. If u take a maid from an agency and if she is a living in maid, Indian and srilankans get paid about 550 QR and Phillipinos get 750 QR.apart from an agaency fees of 6000 riyals, that includes the ticket , residence permit etc for an yr.

the current rate for a maid from 9-5 ( they usually dont agree to this time, its 7-4, or 6-4) is 1500-2500.

thats inclusive of transport. they arrange for their own transport. you dont have to give a seperate allowance.

most indian and srilankan maids ask for 1500-1800qrs.some ask for more than 2k.

I am not sure about the philipino maids.
