Maid’s family ‘evacuated’ to US: Bharara

[sms]

they are violated , if the contract says ... Free food, free accommodation and traveling then technically now you cant add the costs associated with these things into salary ... as they are classified as Free
Its about the actual $$ she was getting and working beyond working hours agreed in the contract if any....

Do not speculate as we do not have the contract in hand. Bottom line she was paid way above USA minimum salary ($7.25) so no labor law was breached.

About demanding $4500, it's approx $27/ hr along with free food, accommodation, insurance, air ticket.. is she maid or CEO of a fortune 500 company.

I have a feeling that Indian courts might decide to put their foot in a different "cavity".

@Sashan @seiko @Star Wars @sms Just now I heard from the news Channel that after this thing is over the Govt. will announce new rule for taking domestic help to foreign countries. Like declaring them as embassy staff or consular staff. And the Govt. will pay them directly as they will be govt..staff but on contract basis and the money paid to them will be deducted from the salary of the person for whom they will work for. And the Employer will choose its employee.

Good move!!

If the Indian consular official can't pay the minimum per hour quoted in the visa, then she should not have the maid servant at her disposal. There are many who earn twice or more(quoting $100,000 per year mentioned in the media) as much as this diplomat here in US, do all the grinding household work themselves. For that matter, the labor is expensive in US, there are certain house fixes done by themselves. Indian official(as well as the maid) clearly violated the visa norms and filed false documents.

Is housing/food/medicine/security included in minimum wage?

Did the maid realise that she is getting paid very less and did the diplomat try to stop her request from going back?

Please answer these question sashan.

Sangeeta Richard's letter to her family that she is being treated well by the diplomat.

And she was also give an I-Pad by the diplomat. An ungrateful person or party to conspiracy?

This was what i thought it was like,A diplomat is different from an NRI and the rules cant be thea same,But Preet Bharara baap ka dada ka sabka badla lenge hum.

Reality is that Pakistanis are low end workers and Indians are the highest earning community in the USA.

Getting an Indian to prosecute an Indian is NOT a good idea.

Who thought up this idiocy.
