OEC for Filipina maid going on leave
Hi Ladies
i have a query that I hope someone can help with. We want to send our maid to the Philippines for her annual leave but she has to get the OEC letter from the POEA to be able to come back.
Now the issue I have is that her contract with the Abu Dhabi Ministry of Labour states a salary of AED500 because the fees are 10 times the salary, i.e. AED5000. If we put her actual salary of AED2000 then we would have to pay AED20,000 every year to sponsor her. I know this is true because DH works in HR for the government - presumably it's just a fixed fee in Dubai as no-one seems to have raised this issue?
My worry is that the POEA will refuse to accept the contract because the stated salary is below their minimum requirements. How about if we write a letter stating that her basic as per contract is AED500 but she gets AED1500 in allowances every month and show signed salary slips?
Surely we can't be the first people to have encountered this? Any advice gratefully received!
Many thanks in advance
