After you have asked all your questions and got some basic understanding about your prospective maid, you now need to share with her what your requirements are. I am listing below what I normally tell them…you should add to or omit some of them as per your requirements.
- Job description – typically what I expect of them. I also tell them that this is in general….there may be small tasks not mentioned right now, but they can’t tell me that “it wasn’t discussed, so I won’t do it”.
- Has to fill in for any absent staff.
- Punctuality.
- Has to inform at least 2 days (or whatever number of days works for you) before wanting leave. (Cannot tell today that she wants tomorrow off).
- Has to call if not coming or if coming late.
- Holiday / Leave policy: How many days off per month; Sunday are working days or not; when you are travelling will they get full pay or not, etc.
