our helper has been with us for 2 months and her birthday is coming up. Is it usual to give a gift on this occasion? If so, how much? I have heard that a half monthly salary is usual. True?
Thanks for any hints. OWT

We usually give $500 for our helpers birthday.
Then there is chinese new year, christmas and a few other days when she's worked harder than usual like our son's birthday party where we give her some additional money as a thank you gift.
Chigger : err .. does not matter. It is common to give cash gifts in a red envelope.
