    Part time Domestic Help Issues

    I had a cleaner who worked on an ad-hoc basis until I sold the place. She mentioned something about severance pay so I went online and gave her the amount based on average time worked and length of time she worked for me. I gave it to her and got her to sign for it, really just to avoid any...

    The DR will probably become a card dominated society one day, but the country is a very long way from that at the moment.
