我鐘意你同我講 I Love U, I Love U Too!
You are the sunshine of my life. That's why I'll always stay around. You are the apple of my eye. Forever you'll stay in my heart.
Your maid is so greedy $500 is too much, tell her if she find another employer she also only can get $3320. But if she really done a good job and you really want to renew contract with her then give her $200 la, $500 no way!
I was in similiar situation when i renewed my maid's contract late last year, she would have to take care of newborn (my second bb now 5 months). I paid her $3470, i.e. share 200 of the levy tax and she accepted it. She took the offer, after all it is better then finding a new job, and she gets more annual leave with the second contract renewal. She is still doing a good job, love my kids.
I think wages negotiation goes both way, she asked and you counter offer, she can take it or leave it :) Though in my case she never asked me for more, but when I offered her I told her she would be my first choice, hinted not the only choise ;)
