Maid salary advances..
Generally a no no, I know, but what about for the specific reason of leaving Dubai (next month) and buying things to ship back in cargo?!
Is it perhaps common to pay salary early to allow maids to do this?
We have already given her half her pay early (2 days ago) to spend for this reason, but now it's not enough.
All gone! I have said no to more, but just wanted to check if I am being unreasonable.
I've made a few points: one, if we pay her all her salary early to spend now then she will have nothing to live on next month (we don't have a specific leaving date yet, but sometime in April). Second, that it she wanted to buy things here to take back then she should have saved some salary over the preceding months to allow her to do this (rather than sending it all home). ANd third, that she'd maybe be better off buying stuff in Sri Lanka where things are surely cheaper. Sadly 'Money all gone madam ' doesn't seem like our problem! She is now regretting her expenditure..
Agency maid next time for us - they are not allowed to ask for advances or loans.
