Hi
Can anyone please clarify what 'expenses' a live-in maid should have paid on her behalf. Is it expected for us to pay for her daily toiletries such as toothbrush & tooth paste, shampoo & conditioner, etc?
What about feminine hygiene products? Should we also be paying for them?
Our maid doesn't want to wear a uniform (who could blame her!) and I have no intention to force her to wear one. Instead I would like to purchase some suitable clothes for her to wear when working (we have an office at the house and receive a few visitors, but not many, each week). What would be deemed a reasonable amount to spend?
Given the cost of the uniforms I have seen at the supermarkets range from RD$300 - RD$650 each, would RD$1,000 be sufficient for 2 changes of clothes?
How many uniforms would a maid usually receive?
Any information you can share would be appreciated.
