Excellent Advice: Sign Contracts for my maid.

10 years ago
Hello everyone!

Just to let you know that according to the new Vietnamese Labour Code, an employment contract is needed for all Vietnamese workers and I think this is great news!

3 years ago I had some trouble with one of my maid. In fact, she left my 7 years old grandson alone in my house all day without any supervision. She came back at night. The day after she was gone.

Without a contract detailing the obligations and responsibilities of both employers and employees, I was unable to do anything against her. So that is why, from 2010, I asked a law firm to make contracts for each employee I have had. I advice you to do the same, to protect you from dishonest people, moreover now that is compulsory!!

Have a great day

Lillian
