I think it is reasonable but a Contract must be signed as Terms of Ref, stating the scope of work.Bila ToR other Employers will be guests of the courts!

if you were to factor in the cost of the food they consume, the accommodation they enjoy and other fringe benefits, the actual cost of having a 'house assistant' is way above the stated figure.



I agree with you, if you pay the said amount and ask the househelp to rent a room and buy food for hersel, she/he will not even save anything. They cannot afford the luxury of your house if they were to pay for it themselves.

And it will be inconveniencing for the employer - waking up first thing in the morning to open the gate and/or door so your housegal who has her own accommodation can come in; and waiting to lock after she leaves! It may be simpler to just marry a second wife, to be housewife :) Ladies dont attack me l am kidding
The laudable is more often than not rendered laughable by overclaim

I think its workable, all you need it just to prepare a monthly slip for your help.

Gross Salary - 7,586/=

Deductions:
Accommodation - 2,000/-
Food - 2,500/-
NSSF - 200/-
NHIF - 160/-

Net Pay -2,726/-
I assume the deductions will be going to you since you are the provider.

There is also going to be a limitation on in-kind payment. Just watched Citizen news: If you dont house them, you add 15% as house allowance.

PLUS Atwoli says that pursuant to the new rules, COTU will conduct impromptu visits to ensure compliance. Itching to sue on the basis of my right to privacy. I want less government in my house unless I've given them reasonable grounds to visit me.

Its their right let them earn like the rest.

But the day care centers and mama osha will flourish.

The day care center near my place charges only k.sh100 per day and mama osha will charge K.sh400-500 to do the whole weeks laundry and clean the whole house which she does every saturday.
We can do the dishes ourselves (Sufuria nunua stainless steel-very easy to wash).

Its a free market so go for the service provider you can afford.

Its even better because day cares graduate to become schools. That is how chaliwong university was founded.

@ T.D I love the maths there...@ FINDEL, I work at a bank and my basic salary is exactly 15,000, so are u suggesting that the first thing I should do once I receive my salary is head to the nearest ATM and hand it all over to my househelp whom i house and feed??????

About the 48 hours bullshit are they aware that some people work on saturdays?? Anyway, she can be off duty any day between 9pm and 5amm....actually ni more than the stipulated 48 am one of the best employers!!!
