Philipino only? outher countries too, Ethiopian, Indonesian, Sri Lankan, Begali,etc....<br /><br />And working hours should be no more than 7 hours a day, however divided, 5 days a week. This is basic rights. If overtime is required a minimum of 4 rials should be paid on the hour.<br /><br />That's just basic human rights.<br /><br />Of course, housemaids recieve free housing (one room with locking door, cupboard, bed), free food (and their food should be the same quality as the rest of the family), and either they should be supplied with 5 uniforms and laundry facilities, or they should be given clothes of the same. The clothes should be replaced every two years, with one new uniform or outfit every year. They also ask for items like phone and vanity items like skin creams (usually whiteners in my experience) which should come out of their own pockets. If their salary is decent and they have days off they should be able to buy these items for themselves.<br /><br />On their days off, they should be allowed to socialize with whomever they wish. It should not be for the employer to control. It is isn't their right.<br /><br />Of course, if a housemaid gets pregnant (from dating) she should consider her contract ended and be sent home.<br /><br />Offices should not be allowed to charge fees for housemaids if the housemaid has already paid her own airefare and medical test ect...<br /><br />If there is any abuse of these rights, the maid should be allowed financial compensation and her emplowers and maid office should face criminal charges (human traffiking with jail time etc.).Omani Princess (not Omani...yet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11738377563210269837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883937954169705657.post-22135383479714378032015-02-23T09:45:08.150+04:002015-02-23T09:45:08.150+04:00The same thing happened to my husband and I, in Ho...The same thing happened to my husband and I, in Holland, and in Ireland, and we had no issues... wonder what else might have made the immigration peeps suspicious?Omani Princess (not Omani...yet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11738377563210269837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883937954169705657.post-8601340748219317172015-02-17T08:17:48.404+04:002015-02-17T08:17:48.404+04:00Freddie Daddy....I know your secret lol jk

You know who I see driving round in Mercedes, BMW, Porsche etc and living in great big houses with 3 maids, driver and cook? Omanis. You know who mistreats their maids so much that Indonesia won't even allow maids to work here anymore and the filipino embassy has had to implement rules on salaries? Omanis.<br />Go ahead, tell yourself that most expats get maids paid for and they pay them 300 rials a month but it is so wrong it makes your delusions of grandeur reek even more.FlimFlamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883937954169705657.post-86886584425668144742015-02-16T12:17:57.023+04:002015-02-16T12:17:57.023+04:00I don't know anyone who pay's their maid 3...I don't know anyone who pay's their maid 300 a month, and I don't know anyone who gets their maid paid for by their Companies either.<br /><br />Having a maid / domestic help is a privilege and not a right.
