My maid was now on leave back to Indonesia, and booked flight to come back HK next Monday. This trip was her advanced holiday for this contract as my family just went for holiday too and so we asked her to go home as well. She'd been very good to me, my son and we liked her so much during the past 8 months, and she also know that she is important to our family and to a certain extent we have to rely on her in as I am working mom, while my family had limited backup.
This morning, I received her text message from Indonesia that she need to borrow money from me. She claimed that she had used up her saving to buy a land in Indonesia and now even don't have money to travel from her hometown to airport. She said she don't know what to do and I am the only person who can help her. She is asking for money to travel and some more said to give her parent to take care of her son. I had discussed with the agent and she said I should not lend her money, and she should be able to find some way to come back to HK. On the one hand, I worry so much that she don't come back if she said she don't have money to travel, as I really need her to take care of my son; on the other hand, I don't know what she would treat us if I don't lend her the money. Can anyone tell me what I should do? How can I have receipt of the money I send her via TT?
P.S. She had once asked me to advance payroll to her 2 months ago as her husband was in hospital, and I did give her salary earlier and deduct the month after.
All the maid is like that, if you lend her money via TT, she will not come back also.
Ask her to come back on time, if she will not come back, ask her to give you resign letter. May be she will come back soon.
She is taking advantage of you, this type of maid is not good no matter what's her performance.
