What would be a good/reasonable salary for a Sri Lankan house maid? Does the Sri Lankan Embassy have a fixed wage rate?

Thanks

My colleagues have indonesians and ethiopian maids, they are paying 800-1000 QR/month. Filippinos have hire rates, no idea about sri-lankans.

Give as much you can, but don't give less then 1200 QR.

Hi Simsim i dont know from where you got that infomation, is it official? i feel even 1300qr is insufficient for a maid who works through out the day.
