When it comes to minimum wage, that is you need to pay her minimum 200 to 250 USD but you can definitely pay her more than that.. I would not even dream of bringing a maid on that salary.. Anything less than 500 dollars is inhuman. Plus I would give her either Friday or Saturday off depending which is convenient for me.. Also on regular days I would make sure she finishes her up work by 7pm and retires to her room. Making them work more than 10 to 12 hours is barbaric.
