I am planning to hire a domestic helper who is finishing her contract with another family soon.
How often are they entitled for home leave? Every year or after they finish the two-year contract.
Also how much holidays do you usually give for first contract? By law it's 7 days.
Please support our advertisers:
They get 7 days (paid leave) after 1 year of continuous employment.
Another 7 after 2 years. Then it increases by the year.
Where they go in their holidays is up to them. You are only obliged to bring them from home country at start of contract and return home end of contract, not 'home leave' as such.
They can choose to not return home after finishing previous contract - previous employer obliged to give her equivalent of one-way fare home, whereas you owe her equivalent of one-way fare from home to here. This cash-in-lieu is not official but is practiced and seems fair.
