She wrote that her maid had Tendonitis on her thumb, which is when a tendon swells (becomes inflamed) causing joint pain and stiffness
SINGAPORE: An employer took to social media asking what she could do because she was unable to afford to pay for her maid’s surgery.
The woman then asked: “My helper has this issue and I wished to help her however I do not have so much money for surgery”. She also wrote that her helper did not do much housework and asked if one would need surgery for Tendonitis.Last month, after looking to renew her maid’s contract, an employer was unsure how much to pay her or whether her medical fees should be deducted from her salary.
“She was also recently was diagnosed with High Blood Pressure, and her monthly medication which I am paying for is over $50. She has been doing an okay job so far and most important to me is that she doesn’t give me any major issues. My younger kid likes her alot and she dotes on the younger child too”, the employer wrote.
The employer added that her maid also only took one day off per month as she wanted to earn more money.
