Just learned na yung binigay namin na kasambahay sa mother-in-law ko, ninakawan sya ng pera, USD pa. We hired her para maging parang yaya ng MIL ko, para lagi syang may kasama. Minsan kasi umuuwi MIL ko sa province and wala syang kasama sa bahay kaya naisipan namin bigyan ng yaya. Akala ko sobrang ok yung KB, nakita ko kasi maalaga sa MIL ko. Nagreremind kung dapat ng magtake ng medicine, kung ano mga dapat dalhin, etc. Madalas sa labas kumakain MIL ko sa restaurants, syempre lagi syang kasama. Tapos just today my MIL found out na nawawala yung USD200 nya na nasa table yata nya sa room, sya lang ang pwede makakuha dun, when interrogated, umamin naman. Pero wala na sa kanya yung USD. Haaayyy.

It strengthens respect, protection and promotion of the rights of general household helpers including maids, cooks, gardeners, laundry persons, etc. except for family drivers and individuals who perform occasional and irregular work. Once the kasambahay has rendered one month of service, he is eligible for 13th month pay, SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-Ibig benefits and employers must be registered as their “employers” to these three government agencies.

Leave
5 annual days of service incentive leave with pay
13th month pay
