Told the truth about the maid job

Rugilė, who works as a room manager in Palanga, says that cleaners working in the private sector often turn a finger.

“Although cleaners are promised before employment that they will be paid handsomely for overtime worked, this promise is not kept. Also, maids are not paid for the job on holidays,” says Rugil, disappointed.

According to the girls who work in the main Lithuanian tourist center, managers are deceived not only by overtime: “Before signing the employment contract, it establishes that women will be paid the minimum wage and promises that the wage will increase significantly due to supplements received. Unfortunately, the housewives who signed the employment contract must be satisfied with the minimum wage and accept that they will not receive any supplement. “

Rugilė mentions the greatest difficulty in her work as a great workload: “In the hotel where I work, the maids must manage a large number of rooms. Although new residents are asked to arrive in the afternoon, they often request to be admitted to the room much earlier. My daily work is accompanied by haste and stress. “

From the tip – the second salary

Sonata, who worked at the Vilnius public catering establishment for half a year, says the customers’ generous tips secured higher incomes.

“When hiring us waiters, it was agreed that the salary would be paid for the hours worked. We follow the rule: the more you work, the more you earn,” recalls the woman.

The former waitress remembers that the wages at the institution where she worked were low: “Because our employers realized that we would earn a lot by receiving tips, they did not even consider paying us more.”

And how many tips did you receive more? “I remember getting 80 euros in one night,” said Sonata with a smile. The woman adds that, in many cases, the amount of tips collected far exceeded the salary received.

When income is unsatisfactory, retrain
