The Household COO

We have decided to dismiss our maid before her contract is up because we’re not happy with her performance.  It appears that we are required to get her to write a letter stating that she agrees to being released early.  Frankly, I’m surprised that this is a requirement since we’re the employers - don’t we have a right to terminate a contract when the service is not up to par?

It also appears that our maid is not keen to write the letter but I hope for her sake she changes her mind rather than forcing us to send her back to the agency.  I’ve been made aware that the agency uses corporal punishment for maids who have “misbehaved” with their employers.  That is a practice I don’t agree with.  Regardless of what our maid has done, I don’t believe she deserves that.  So here’s hoping she agrees to being sent home.
