What do you do when your helper has an emergency?  Well, I asses the situation - but most of the time - I allow them to leave.  I feel that I have no choice since its an *emergency* but I do take note of the number of * namatayan * reasons that they have. Most if not all helpers, have this idea on their minds on *Emergency Leaves* a)  You allow them to leave immediately b)  Allow them an *indefinite* number of days off c)  You will give them *extra* money as help d)  You will still pay for the days they are on leave Fair?
