Is my maid entitled to gov't holidays?
Hi ladies!
Since I'm new at having a full time maid, I have yet again another question.
As some of you know, I'm currently in canada to deliver my second baby and have been away from dubai since June with only my husband being home. Our live out maid (full time) has only been coming to the house a few days a week just for a couple of hours to do some basic cleaning and ironing and has had days off in the week and a very 'relaxed' schedule just because of the lack of work. She of course has been getting her full salary every month. My husband is with me in Canada for the passed 2 weeks so she's been going in to the home only 2 twice a week to do some dusting. My mother in law's maid who is muslim has asked for 3 days off for Eid and so my mother in law asked my maid to come by her house to help out as she has some guests. My maid just messaged me, saying how our agreement was that she would get government holidays off which is true. But she hasn't worked full time since she started with us, so when I brought that up with her she told me to deduct 3 days off of her salary as she will not go to my mil's home. I was under the understanding that she is absolutely entitled to her holidays after she has put in the work hours? What would you do in my situation? What is my obligation to her? I don't want to do wrong by anyone :(
