Domestic Helper Insurance - Understanding Its Importance

By Alice Sy


When you are considering of availing yourself of maid services, you must know that aside from providing the basic salary, food, and accommodation, you must also provide her with domestic helper insurance.

Before you dismiss the idea as insane, remember that the maid whose services you hire is not exempted from risks. In fact, she may be more at risk than you are, so it only makes sense to have her covered. It's not just for her benefit, actually, but you as employer, will be able to benefit from the product, too.

Domestic Helper Insurance provides full coverage on your liabilities as employer. At the same time, it also covers personal accidents that may result to disabilities or death, and hospitalization expenses.

You can find lots of insurance firms promoting this type of insurance along with other insurance products. It's good that many of these firms have an online presence, meaning, you'll be able to conveniently visit their websites and shop for information. Since it's only natural for these companies to differ in many ways, make sure to read through articles and reviews made of such companies. It's also a good idea to join a group involved in this kind of thing to get more information.

For the maid to get this type of insurance, she must be 18 years old at the very least and 60 years old at most. She must not exhibit signs and symptoms of any illness that may warrant medical attention in a few months time.

Don't ever presume that nothing bad is ever going to happen to your maid because she is exposed to risks of any kind every day. She can trip and fall, experience food poisoning, or something else while in the conduct of her duty. With domestic helper insurance, it should give you a lot of confidence to know that you will not have to deal with all the expenses yourself.
