Here's the problem: Our DH believes that she is entitled to go home once every twelve months and that we are to pay for two airline tickets in her two year contract. She is so conviced of this and from what I read, it is not the case. As we will be away anyway and our lives dont stop if she is away, we are happy for her to go home each year, even if the break is paid leave but when she expects us to pay for two lots of return tickets (not only to Manilla but to another outport), well....that's a bit much and I hate being taken for a ride. So, my fellow expats, what's the deal here? I'm new to all of this DH stuff and learning the hard way with a number of things. By the way, do they get two whole weeks in each contract....one week annual and one week vacation. Thanks!

You were right. On behalf of my fellow
DH, your helper is wrong. Though there is
a new policy now wherein we are just
granted for 1 year, does not mean she
can go home to avail this. She can go to
China for an exit and from there she can
be granted for the remaining visa.And
for each contract, a helper is entitled
for a 2 weeks paid vacation.And one way
airline ticket for each contract. So in case
you renew the contract, you are oblige to
pay the 2 ways ticket to her point
of origin as stated in the contract.

Thanks for your reply vgrace. Anyone else found themselves in this situation? Our helper is painfully sensitive and I believe would get the @#$%'s if I tell her otherwise (but I will). Oh the amah dramas....ugh!
