Helper's off day

In my opionion, it's a sad state of affairs when we trust our maid's with our children and not a key....

And as for giving them a curfew of 7.30 or 8 pm on their 'legal' night off, that's pretty harsh too. Whilst some rules are necessary these women are not our slaves, they are employees. I doubt any of us would work for anyone who told us to be home by 7.30pm the night before work.

As for paying them for holidays etc if they haven't quite qualified, they earn so little what is the big deal? Some of you are pretty tough...
 
The fact of the matter is that some people employ helpers without knowing their legal requirements -you are responsible for employing your helper and not your agency and therefore YOU must know the laws that are applicable. I also agree that not paying your helper for a few days off because they don't 'qualify' seems harsh and not a route that I would go down personally.
