| Maids are even paid well, but I think it depends where they work for. In the world today, almost everything increases in price. So it is important to check do we really have to spend in a week or in a month. I wonder how is the cost living in Uruguay this year. Is there an increase? How about when you get a maid at home, is it more expensive? |

| "minimum salary"
Hi Ana, thnx for all the info. I'm shocked that the mininum wage per hour is as low as UY$34. I really had no clue. I do have a cleaning lady in Uruguay and I pay her UY$80 per hour plus "viaticos". And I always tip her! I guess I am grossly overpaying. Not that I would ever lower her salary. I don't care. I love this woman. She is absolutely wonderful and she deserves every penny. Anyway, I was just trying to find out what other people are paying. I guess I don't have to increase her wages. |
| "Wage Increase"
I think in theory you have to adjust the wages based on what you are currently paying. The wage increase is different from the minimum wage.Someone said that what will happen is some people will fired their maids and then hire them back at the minimum wage. I pay mine more than the minimum wage (and BPS). She told me something about a 20% increase. As it turned out the Dec 1, and July 1 increases will total a 20% increase.

| "month vs hour"
Dan, you are not paying too much!Although this is the minimum by law, lady´s that clean per hour ask to earn more per hour than the ones that works 9h/5d in the same house. Your cleaning lady is not cheap, but is so difficult to find/have one that I hardly recommend you to keep it if you are happy with she! If you will start looking again for a maid per hour, you are not going to pay less than $65 and you don´t have guarantee "to love" her. The bus is always extra.

Comment #1001/07/11 16:03Rural east Colonia departmento | "Cleaner"
I am a very fortunate man in that the lovely Marisela comes for three hours every Wednesday to wash down the floors, clean the bathrooms and the windows. She has just finished secondary school so I'm worried about losing her.Since arriving here I have employed 32 people on various tasks but when it comes to reliability, hard work, no smoking/texting/mate breaks and downright diligence, Marisela is in a class by herself. Last year I discovered that she is really a 5th generation Swiss citizen so maybe that explains it... the Swiss were always noted for their superhuman cleaning abilities. :-) I pay her very well (85$ the hour/BPS/13th month etc) because she's worth every centesimo of it. |
| "Clean House"
What I like best is having a clean house and not having to worry about it. My maid comes 3 times a week, so of course I can only entertain guests those days... as the day following I've made a mess of things already!I can't imagine why any expat moving here wouldn't hire a maid to come at least once a week.

| "Minimun and real wage."
I don't know anyone that pays the minimun hourly wage, and I wonder if you can find any maid at all at that wage. I personally pay $70 an hour plus bus tickets for 4 hours once a week. |
| "minimum montlhy salary vs. minimum hourly wage"
So from what I gather, no one pays the minimum hourly wage to maids who are working only a few hours per week at any given place. And the officially-established minimum (monthly) salary is supposedly paid to maids who work at ONE given place, full time. Correct? If this is true, it stands to reason that maids would be encouraged NOT to have full time jobs anywhere so that they can make more money per hour. I mean, who wouldn't want to get paid uy$70 or uy$80 per hour opposite the officially established uy$34??? |
| "Minimun salaries."
The minimum "oficial" salaries (hourly or monthly) for maids were fixed by the "Consejo de Salarios" (Salary Council) of the sector, as an agreement between the maids' union, the Government, and a leegue representing the employers. In the specific case of the maids, this type of agreements are thought to avoid abuse by the employers because of the individual one-on-one employment relationship. The worst paid of them, however, are the ones working for enterprises that give cleaning services. Anyway, no matter the the minimum "oficial" salaries, the Market has the last word. And it is very dificult to find a good maid (who does the job properly and who can be trusted), at the oficial salaries. Of course, hourly contracts are better payed than full-time contracts. Hourly paid maids generally work less hours and have to spend more time on buses. That's why they are payed more. Given equivalent salaries, I guess all of them would prefer to stay in just one place. Anyway, I think most families in Uruguay would not want, need or be able to pay for a full-time maid. |
