Hi Mummies!
Birthdays: March seems like a month full of bday celebrations. Two of my friends have kids turning one in March so that's two parties on two separate weekends. My mum and bro also celebrate their birthdays in March. Busy busy month. But happy [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Kindermuzik: I can make it if the trial is in May. Keep me updated.

ladies and gent,
i need your opinion
my maid's ex employer had withheld $500 from her, presumbly for her airfare lest she did not finish the 2 year contract. maid now wants to recover the $500 back fm the ex employer J. called J on 11 Feb. J asked for my address and said she would mail the money to my maid. maid contacted her again this tue and said not received yet. J said mailed already... ended off w telling my maid 'enough of this nonsense, i do not have time to entertain u'.
maid told me ystday morning and asked if there ws any mail for her.
maid contacted J again last evening. J told her sent $350 in cash (who sends cash thro normal mail? liar liar pants on fire). The postman must have taken it *blink*.
i trust my maid. she has been honest and competent in her work. just a little bit blur blur.
question
shd i intervene by calling J and threatening to take the case to MOM?
i believe there is a special type of hellfire for pple who bully those who are in a less powerful position.
$500 is one and a half months' work for the maid. i would like to know how J reacts if HER employer owes her 1.5 months' salary.

Cellow, yes, i will interfere. (if i feel that it's worth my effort, meaning, i know my maid will appreciate it and it will help improve the relationship between us and probably her working attitude too).
Then again, the conversation i'll have with J, will not start off as a confrontation. It will be more like a "i act blur" situation and start by asking her if she owes the maid $$, for what la, what made her retain the $$ previously (just to make sure your maid is not lying). From there, you access lo. Ultimate is to tell her you'll go to MOM. Then again, she might rebutt you with "what proof do you have".

Cellow: Call up the ex employer and find out what is happening. If she insists that she sent the cash via post, ask her for documentary proof. If she hems and haws, pins the blame on the post man etc, suggest that she makes a police report. See what she says then. Last resort if she is unco-operative is to alert MOM. Your poor maid though.
Cellow: thought maid have to sign every month that she did receive her pay. I would also call and ask what is happening. Hear her side of the story. Then I would suggest that she pay the money in person n offer to be witness for her so maid will stop the 'nonsense'. Then no need to have extra trouble for all of us by askin MOM to help to sort out the whole issue. Then if J know u going to involve MOM then maybe she will just guai guai pay.
DaZz: can take another time? How?
DaZz: can take another time? How?
thanks for the advice.
bbdust,
i cannot stand by and do nothing. esp since maid told *me* the story, and she DIN ask for my help at all from start to end. she only asked me if there ws any mail for her. only when i probed further, then the whole sad story tumbled out.
dazz, juye,
i already have a script in my head
start off w telling J - my maid thinks you still owe her $500, and she told me you have sent $350 cash via normal mail. just want to clarify with you wat is the current situation..
yes then proceed to ask J to pay my maid in person and offer to be witness so maid will stop the 'nonsense'. and follow the rest of maddie's script - no need to have extra trouble for all of us by asking MOM to help sort out the matter.
ming,
when meeting in person, i also want J to sign smthing to the effect of she will not bother my maid or raise any charges agst her... scared this woman later accuse my maid of theft... (wat other things can she accuse my maid of?? thinking....)
is that a good idea?
my maid's prev agency has closed down. else i would ask the agent to sort this matter out.

Cellow: I think both your maid and J should sign something to the effect that the payment is in full and final settlement of the outstanding wages and that neither party will have any further right to claim against each other in the future. Sign two copies so your maid and J can each keep one copy. But ultimately if J doesn't want to sign, there is nothing you can do. But you can always drop her an email or an SMS to state something to this effect and if she doesn't refute you, that counts for something.
