What are the things you should know about having a kasambahay at home?

What are the do's and don'ts you should be aware of as a boss?

Just like our reader, Sam, who asks:

"Hi, Atty. We're a young couple starting out. And we're about to hire our first kasambahay. Do you have any tips that would help me deal with my kasambahay fairly?"

If you're thinking the same thing, stick around as we tackle these questions today.

But before we proceed, we want to give a shoutout to Mark who says this about our Employee Discipline book:

"It is very helpful for our business since our employees are growing fast. Employees especially the pioneers are becoming stubborn. It is hard for us to decide what to do and by reading this book, I think we know now how we can handle them."

We'd love it if you can leave us your feedback as well at info.legalguide.ph/feedback

Who knows, your entry may be featured in the next episode.
