Sweldo ng Family driver

[Mguy]

How much ang going rate sweldo ng family driver? Usually ang arrangement yan either stay in or uwian. Baka iba ang sweldo for each arrangement. Thanks.

How much do you give your STAY IN drivers?

We convinced our driver (of more than a decade) to stay in with us and he'll move in with his family (4) My Mom said we'll cover for their utilities pero I said we should have a sub meter for the electricity hehe. I know the rate is different kasi pag stay in sa stay out. He will only work 5 days a week.

in 2012; 9k per month, + sss, stay in for 7 days, single, food/water/power included, full time stay in, meron own room, all around na din, such as cleaning cars, garage cleaning, house maintenance & repairs, & others. Dati ko siya side kick/alalay during my construction days since 2000. Trusted, kahit bigyan mo ng 20k, safe sa kanya.

Totoo talaga kasabihan na hindi mo makikilala ang tao hanggang makasama mo sa bahay. So our driver has been staying in with us for over a year now and in over 10 yrs na uwian siya, all praises kami, pero nung nag stay in, wala pa 3 mos may issue na lumabas.

Anyway, pinaka malaking issue namin yung nawawala siya sa bahay, labas ng labas withous us knowing. In one week, he drives once or twice a week kapag may lakad Mommy ko. I drive myself naman and I rarely ask him to drive for me, kapag lang mahirap parking or out of ramge. Ilang beses na siya pinagsabihan pero WALA nangyayari. It is so frustrating. Sa bahay kasi naman we never step out without telling someone. Abnormal ba bahay namin or normal ba lumabas ng hindi nagsasabi?

Another issue since wala naman siya ginagawa sa bahay. We even encouraged him na mag sideline na mag repair ng houses here in our area along with his driver friend (driver ng neighbor namin) Kaya lang nangyari in one month twice lang siya nag drive at kami pa nag adjust sa schedule niya. Aalis ng 7 am (after feeding my dog and cleaning her area) babalik ng 6 pm, nakahanda na food niya. Nainis na ko when I had an important appointment sa lugar na mahirap parking and he didn't show up. Nalimutan pala at nasa bubong ng ginagawa nila kaya di narinig phone. I was so irritated. I talked to him after na kami ang MAIN JOB not the sideline. He gets his salary in full, 2 days off in a week tapos yung once or twice a week na mag drive siya mawawala pa siya? Anyway, na kwento ko kay SO and he said di nagagawa ng long time driver nila yan mawala wala kasi theirs gates are locked pero mahaba din patience niya because their driver is worse (lasenggo at adik pa ata haha) Our driver said summer lang naman yun since pag ulanan wala na silang sideline

Here is why I am so pissed now. So dahil ulanan na, wala ng repair job, mukhang nakahanap ng ibang sideline. Nagpaalam na mawawala siya ng 10 days kasi may namatay daw na relative. Pero yung alis niya 10 days from now. Meron ba binuburol ng 2 weeks??? Nung una hindi ko na process so I said babawiin niya 10 days niya na wala siyang off or one day off lang but everyone told me dapat no pay yun or advance. I talked to him again and he said advance. The thing is, he already gave us that namatay excuse pre pandemic, bigla nag resign. May nahanap pala na ibang employer mataas sweldo siguro. Ang hinala namin lahat may sideline siya kasi he does drive for a balikbayan na yearly umuuwi. I think umuwi now and of course malaki bigay. Kaya asar na asar ako kasi hindi pa ko regular sa bank and I will need to request for WFH arrangement. Nung May ONE MONTH ako WFH so ayoko na sana mag request ng June, but what can I do. Wala mag papakain sa Fat Lab ko.

My fear is this will be habitual na every time may mas mataas na bigay na racket e he will ask for a leave. Kasi nung sideline nga niya as repairs, hindi naman siya nahiya for MONTHS na bilang sa daliri mag drive siya at kami pa adjust sa schedule niya. Hirap kasi maghanap ng kapalit since we have known him for over a decade saka ang maganda hindi malikot kamay because he stays in my room pag pakainin fat lab ko and I have my jewelry in the dresser. Never had issues there. Pero yun lang issue ko nawawala bigla tapos kami ang lumalabas na sideline niya when he gets paid in full. There was even a month na TWICE lang siya nag drive kasi busy dyan sa sideline niya!

My question is how do I prevent this na maging habitual yan long leave niya pero ang totoo mag sideline ng driving sa iba. He knows kasi wala naman siya ginagawa dito, but still, he is paid to be here! I told my Mom to tell him na next time he goes on long leave hindi na pwede advance. No work no pay na (but that would not matter kung mas malaki racket niya sa kabila) Told my Mom also to tell him na I have to pay for the days na WFH ako

BTW since he stayed in with us at nakaka double job sila, sobrang tumaas na rin lifestyle nila, nagpa kabit aircon, vacations, eating out etc. Tapos he even wanted to borrow from me to buy his son a NEW lenovo laptop. AKo nga naghihingalo na laptop ko and bought this Jan 2022 pa. Totoo bang all students now can't study without a laptop? They are living a middle class lifestyle na nga. Kami nga hindi nago out of town sa beach for YEARS. He doesn't even appreciate that working for us is giving him that upgraded lifestyle. Nagmalaki pa asawa niya na madami daw kumukuha sa asawa niya at madali makahanap ng work. She was blaming us kasi na nagka babae husband niya kasi wala daw ginagawa samin. WTF.

My Mom saw nga in one of their celebrations ang daming sugpo. I can't even remember the last time we bought sugpo, maybe pandemic pa? so my Mom said bili nga kami sugpo LOL. Yung mga kids niya mukhang maluho din, puro designer brands though I assume it's fake because I don't think they could buy 6 digit worth bags. Hindi ako marunong tumingin phone pero di ako magtataka kung naka iphone yan. I'm not saying wala sila karapratan magluho pero baka kaya money is never enough.
