ARIBOY Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Any one has actual knowledge of what responsibilities, if any, one has towards a part time maid ( works 2 days a week for a total of 10 hours) if she can no longer work due to her physical medical issues. Has been employed for just over 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapalence Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 For 6- years we have used the Golden Rule as our guide. I would pay her finiquito figured by an abogado with paperwork all legal, and wish her well. ABC Legal in Ajijic can help you with this for a very reasonable fee. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tingting Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Or, go to http://www.rollybrook.com and you can do your own finquito. Don't try to take shortcuts. If you're not sure, use a pro. We had to "temporarily" terminate our maid (exact same hours/days as yours) when she needed hip replacement surgery. We did the calculations, paid her an extra couple of months to support her and were pretty liberal on the final amount. We had her sign a termination letter (in Spanish) and made sure she understood where the calculations came from. She got a copy of that, too. After a few months to recover, we rehired her. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morally..... for a person who can no longer work? That's between you and yourself. Please note: Some people who do pay (required) aguinaldo each year don't seem to be aware that annual vacation pay is also legally required to be paid, based on formula in that same site. If you have never paid her that, the you must calculate it and pay that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Mainly for any 'newbies' here..... while Rolly had a wonderful website (almost as wonderful as the guy was himself!), he passed away a long time ago and that site has not been updated in about 8 years. While some things might stay eternal, I would assume that other things have gotten stale as laws change so for sure take things with a grain.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to argue Rick, but I checked the federal and state civil codes for anything that site doesn't have correctly when helping a friend calculate finiquito and long-overdue ( never paid for 10 years) vacation pay last January. All places it worked out to be the same. Not sure how 2023 new numbers of vacation days (ie stat holidays) may affect vacation pay calculations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWMtnMama Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 When my maid of several years was out for 2 months after a surgery, I paid her salary plus $100 pesos every week. Her sister, who filled in working for her, said they really appreciated it since it more than paid for all her medicine. Do what you feel is right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
