• Engage new servants only through reputed placement agencies or on recommendation of a person well known to you and who also knows the servant very well. • Before engaging a domestic help, make a check on his/her past service history. For this purpose you should write down the details of his past service with periods, name of employer and addresses etc. If you or the police find his antecedents questionable on verification, this will help in pinning him down. • Ask him the reasons for leaving his previous employers. Definite answers can be verified. Vague answers should be looked upon with suspicion. His reasons for leaving the previous jobs may indicate whether he would stick to you. From security angle it is not good to change servants too often. • Get the domestic servant registered with the police and get his antecedents verified. Verification of his testimonials can also help. • Make certain ground rules clear to him in the beginning such as working hours type and volume of work weekly/monthly off annual leave behavior with children smoking/drinking restrictions restriction on meeting contacts/friends/relative during duty hours |
