Rights Assured - Domestic Help Wanted

By Alice Sy


Being a domestic helper is promising and fulfilling if you have found a job but the path to success doesn't end there. You are not working for nothing, for what you give you deserve what is rightfully yours so as you do your work make sure you are getting something back. There's a demand for domestic helpers so domestic help wanted worldwide is not unusual and so are your rights.

Domestic Helper Jobs are also like normal jobs so they are considered the same as regular employees elsewhere. If you are not aware of this then it's time you get your own labor code and know your law.

Becoming part of the household a domestic help wanted must be provided with all the necessary amenities to be able to live-not just merely to survive but to live in a home the same way as all others living there. First a room with enough space should be given to the helper, inclusions are the bed, enough blankets, clean sheets and mattresses and perfect air circulation. This should be considered as a private room with no permission from others to enter unless necessary.

Like any other employees, work has a specific time to begin and a time to end, usually it's just eight hours and all the necessary breaks, lunch, dinner, snack time or some time to rest in between. Unlike some employees who do not have free meals, domestic helpers are necessarily provided with all the major meals as part of the household. Aside from this, employer must allow a rest day for the helper and give duly compensation if necessary.

A fair warning to all domestic helpers out there, it is only right to look for employers who have the power to sustain their needs. They have the right to choose where to work and who to work with. A domestic help wanted is not necessary unless there really was a great need. So don't keep your rights to yourself, your purpose serves a valuable role in many lives and futures.
