Hi

What is the norm for a domestic helper and
your home phone?

Do you allow them to use your home phone or
should they use their own mobile. Should I
give them money for their mobile so they can
phone home ?

Thanks

They will almost certainly have a mobile so no need to use the home phone. If they are going to use it and you don't want to pay then ask them to buy one of the many phone cards out there giving cheap rates. No I don't think it is necessary to give them money for this, don't think its normal practice, but depends how much you pay them I guess.

I dont allow my helper to use my phone or give my number to her friends. She has her own mobile and pays for it herself.
