Anyone want to check the numbers?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Anyone want to check the numbers?

Post by StroppyChops »

On Phnom Penh Jobs Alert a poster is looking for a part time cook/housekeeper job for his mum.

Another poster says she PMed to see what mum expected to be paid, and was allegedly told $300 per month for around 4 hours a week.

On PPJA we've started running the numbers, especially when we think there's a point to be made. Anyone want to check the math?

4 hours per week @ $300pm = 208 hours per year @ $3600 = $17.30 per hour
8 hours per day @ $130pm = 2496 hours per year @ $1560 = $0.625 per hour
8 hours per day & 2496 hours per year @ $17.30ph = $43,180.80 per year or $3598.40 per month

You'd think so, but apparently not.

it has to be surely, it just doesnt make sense otherwise, still going off the standard cambodian work week with adjusted hours its still not a bad gig
4 hours a day @ $300pm = 1248 hours @ $3600pa = $2.80 per hour

The guy asking the question on behalf of his mother appeared clueless.

I wish this would have been a misunderstanding, but unfortunately not...
