How much should I pay my maid?

Posted by maryland (177 days ago)

Please can someone give some idea of current salary levels for a house maid working in makati? (no children and no cooking)

will probably not be employing full time but will pay on an hourly or daily basis

is any insurance needed?

Thanks

Hi
Sorry, I can't actually help you with your question - i am actually trying to contact someone who is living in Manila as an expat, to get an idea of what it is like.
Are you there yet?
I will post a thread on this site, but i think the Asiaxpat site is really HK-centric - there is not much info on other countries.
Would love to hear from you.
Cheers

actually maid salary in the philippines is kinda cheap. its better if you have someone that can refer a maid to you. because if you get from manpower agencies, it will be more expensive.
