i dont have a maid but am planning to hire one at the end of Jan, when her employer leaves to return home. She is presently earning qr 1,800 per month, she also gets all toiletries and clothes, plus whatever she needs from the supermarket and an allowance for mobile phone. Her employer tells me she has a couple of cleaning jobs too, which she may loose as we are living at the other end of Doha. Her employer says its normal to give 2 months vacation every 2 years and that we will be expected to pay her Air Fare back to Manila for this in addition to her holiday pay. Is this correct? I ask out of interest and not by way of avoiding it.
