'What are usual off day hours?' — Employer

An employer who wanted to know if their maid’s timings for her days off were normal took to social media to ask other helpers and employers., an employer asked: “Do give me advice – is it normal for my FDW to leave at 7:30am or earlier on her off day and return around 10pm or later?”Most of the helpers who commented on the post said that the MOM requirement was at least 8 hours of leave, but they did agree that it ultimately should be based on communication between the helper and her employer.

Responding to the new mandate, foreign domestic helpers said that even though they were given ‘days off’, they were still expected to clean and do chores in the morning, and after they returned home in the evening.many foreign domestic helpers wrote that the new law should be clearly defined, with penalties given to employers who deny their helpers the day off.
