A Filipina maid will be receiving a $827,506 (P4,336,5451) as a back pay from her former employer in Los Angeles. She worked with two disabled children including household chores and running errands.
She is provided with flat monthly salary despite of the time rendered, started with the salary of $1000 but raised into $3000 by 2014. According to the law, as mandated should be $6000.
Ms. Alzate worked as an on call maid of Drs. Peter Sim and Lorraine Diego in Los Angeles in 2002.
Under the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights made effective in 2014, domestic workers with hours similar to Alzate who are caring for children or seniors are entitled to overtime pay being their regular hourly rate multiplied by one and a half, or "time and a half," the Asian Journal reported.
