Domestic workers negotiate with employers by video
Domestic workers negotiate with the employer on the spot
Near the Spring Festival, more and more migrant workers have joined the army of returnees, and there has been a shortage of manpower in many industries, of which the domestic service industry is the most obvious. Recently, the reporter visited some domestic company in Haikou and learned that the pre-holiday cleaners and short-term nannies during the Spring Festival are sought after, and because they are sought-after, the salaries of domestic workers have also changed, and the salaries of short-term nannies have doubled during the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival for domestic workers is very popular
At about 3 p.m. on the 19th, the sister-in-law's housekeeping in Gaodeng West Street, Haikou, the staff member Ms. Lin, was busy arranging a nanny. "From December 2018 to now, the demand for nannies has risen, and we are also particularly busy. Now just register the babysitter information, and soon there will be employers hiring. Ms. Lin said, "This zhou sister, after the former owner returned to her hometown for the New Year, she registered the nanny information on the 17th, and on the 19th, she completed the consultation with the new owner and prepared to officially take up her post on the 20th." ”
Ms. Lin introduced that every year at this time, the demand for nannies is particularly large, "the Spring Festival short-term nannies, up to 7 days of work, generally from Chinese New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the first month of the first month." Some are vacancies for long-term nannies to return to their hometowns for the New Year, and some are employers who come to Hainan these days during the New Year and temporarily need nannies to take care of housework. Usually, we (the home economics center) are greeted more than ten days in advance, and then we arrange a babysitter according to the needs of the employers. Many employers are regular customers, and my short-term nannies here are easy to find and basically meet the needs. ”
The reporter visited and found that in addition to short-term nannies, the demand for cleaners also continued to rise. Ms. Wang, a staff member of Zhenyida Housekeeping on Yusha Road in Haikou, introduced, "Near the Spring Festival, every household must be cleaned, and some families are too busy to come, or feel that they are not clean enough, they will come to the home economics center to place orders." Cleaners, like short-term nannies, need to be booked in advance. However, cleaners are relatively easy to find, because they worked years ago, and the time is fixed, and they can leave after cleaning. ”
Nanny cleaning Spring Festival wages generally rose
In order to recruit domestic workers during the Spring Festival, employers do not hesitate to increase salaries, and some even offer double wages. Ms. Lin told reporters, "The salary of short-term nannies is calculated according to the number of days. If it is a normal period of time, the highest salary among short-term nannies is generally the employer's family with the elderly who need to be taken care of, 200 yuan per day. During the Spring Festival, the salary directly rose to 400 yuan per day. Compared with last year, the price this year has risen by an average of about 50 yuan. The salary of cleaners also showed an upward trend, from 3 yuan / square meter to 4 yuan / square meter. In addition, the demand for long-term live-in nannies, the usual monthly salary of 3500 yuan, the Spring Festival this month rose to 4200 yuan. ”
According to the two housekeeping companies, haikou's long-term live-in nannies have 4 days off every month, and 3 days off during the Spring Festival, adding up to 7 days off during the Spring Festival. If the nanny chooses not to take a vacation during the Spring Festival, then the salary for these 3 days is calculated on a daily basis.
Ms. Wang, who is a home economics official of Zhenyida, said, "I don't take a vacation for three days during the Spring Festival, and I can even get three times my salary." If done well, some owners will also send red envelopes to the nanny, ranging from 500 yuan to 1,000 yuan. ”
Employers are mostly "migratory bird" elderly people
In the past few days, Ms. Wang has received an order from an 83-year-old man from Jiangxi. "The old man has not been in Hainan for a long time, and he is currently living alone on Haidian Island. Although the body bones are still quite tough, but after all, it is a person here, the children are still not at ease, specially entrusted us to help find a nanny. Ms. Wang told reporters that the old man is a typical "migratory bird" customer, about to April and May to leave, "every year at this time, there will be many 'migratory bird' elderly or the whole family to spend the winter, becoming one of the main groups looking for nannies around the Spring Festival." ”
When the reporter visited the sister-in-law's home economics on Gordon West Street, he met Fu Apo, who came to look for a nanny, and she interviewed two domestic workers on the spot. "Are you afraid of suffering", "How many children are there in the family, how old are the children", "Are you healthy, don't you mind going to do a physical examination again", she asked in detail.
Also anxious to find a nanny is Ms. Huang, a Beijinger who currently lives in Haikou. Because she and her husband are busy with work on weekdays, and there is still an old and a small one in the family to take care of, under the balance, the couple entrusted the heavy responsibility of taking care of the family to the housekeeper Nanny Xiao Chen. However, Xiao Chen had to return to his hometown during the Spring Festival, and the vacancy of the nanny during the Spring Festival became a headache for Ms. Huang. Asking a friend to find and ask in the community WeChat group, she worked hard and finally found an emergency helper with the help of other owners.
Appointments must be made half a month in advance
"Since the beginning of this month, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of people looking for babysitters. However, according to past experience, we have also made preparations in advance, as long as you come over, we will try our best to arrange, or can be satisfied, after all, there are also people who want to take advantage of this period to make more money. Ms. Wang, who is sincerely committed to home economics, told reporters.
Ms. Lin, who is the eldest sister-in-law of housekeeping, also said, "It is difficult to find a short-term nanny during the Spring Festival, if there is a demand in this regard, it is recommended to come to us half a month in advance, and we will also make an appointment." ”
The reporter learned that some domestic workers have reached an agreement with their employers before the Spring Festival, and they can take four to seven days off during the Spring Festival. If domestic workers work normally during the Spring Festival, the employer will double the salary in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state.
"These are all communicated between the employer and the nanny before, and if it is good, the employer will also send red envelopes." In fact, many people are willing to stay and celebrate the New Year with their employers. Ms. Lin also told reporters that their nannies have a relatively fixed source, and many of them are long-term contracts, so they are relatively stable and can basically meet the needs of customers during the Spring Festival.
