Batas Kasambahay, ano sa tingin nyo?

Now that it is law and no longer the subject of speculative discussion, what is your take on this?

Will this be another law where it is good to have but few will, or can, comply?

[boybi]

Our kasambahays receive way more than the set minimum wage. That law is irrelevant to me.

Actually, maganda talaga yung ibang provisions ng law na ito pero you have to think of the employers as well...kailangan balance lang...

Yung mga kakilala kong may kasambahan...napapakunot-noo duon sa ibang provisions ng law na ito...

Same with us, bro... But how about the other benefits?

20. What are the mandatory benefits of the kasambahay?
a. Monthly minimum wage;
b. 5 days annual service incentive leave with pay;
c. 13th month pay;
d. SSS benefit;
e. PhilHealth benefit;
f. Pag-IBIG benefit;*
g. Daily rest period of 8 (total) hours; and
h. Weekly rest period of 24 (uninterrupted) hours

Now, that makes it more interesting!

My take:

If the new Kasambahay Law makes it difficult or more onerous for employers to comply, it'll likely just discourage them from hiring household help. Take for example, payment of SSS, Pag-Ibig, PhilHealth, they're ok, but will employers really take timeout from their office work just to pay the contributions?

There has to be a better mechanism to comply.

Right, bro.

Even if you are paying your kasambahay double or triple the minimum wage, they are still entitled to those mandatory benefits....

Pareho tayo bro.... The 5-day paid VL is news to me. And PAG-IBIG, too...

During weekdays, after their morning chores,- panuod na lang sila ng TV sa tanghali/hapon,- o tulog.....

They're off after dinner (around 7PM), except when there are family gatherings,- but they happen only occasionally, which they enjoy rin because of the special food and drinks, gifts and company..... On regular nights,- nanunuod na lang sila ng TV until around 10PM....

Weekly rest day,- ipon din nila ito...
