KUALA LUMPUR: Employers who wished to hire maids, especially from Indonesia, must ensure they were dealing with maid agencies that are registered with the Human Resource Ministry and the Immigration Department.

Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri Richard Riot Jaem said if employers failed to engage the services of registered agencies, they may end up paying more that the amount set by the government.

I wish to clarify that the amount for employing a maid from a registered agent has been set as RM7,800 by the Malaysian and Indonesian authorities. For employers who have become victims of unscrupulous agents, they can file a claim at the Consumers Tribunal, he said in a statement here yesterday.

He said local dailies had reported that employers had complained that employing Indonesian maids incur a high cost of between RM14,000 to RM15,000.

Riot said employers can obtain a list of the registered agents through the ministrys website http://jtksm.mohr.gov.my.

There are 393 agents registered with the ministry, he said.

He said to lodge a complaint regarding maids, employers can contact the nearest Labour office or call 03-88865000; 03-80008000. Bernama

A keen young job seeker who has failed to find full time work despite sending off 50 job applications has offered himself up on eBay as a live-in maid-for a month in a bid to improve his CV.

Ben Burchfield, 20, from Worthing, West Sussex, posted the unique advert offering to be a live-in maid for a month, working seven days a week for just 100, and says he is even happy to sleep in a shed.

The determined jobseeker says he will 'do anything asked of him,' and can do everything from cooking bacon butties, cutting hair, cooking and cleaning to moving hazardous waste for his potential employers.

Move over, Kristen Wiig. It is time for the professionals to take over the bridesmaid game.

That's right: If you are planning a wedding this year, you can hire the services of a professional bridesmaid for only $2,000.

Weddings are notoriously known as a stressful day, with one mishap that can easily turn a bride from beautiful to bridezilla. That is precisely the reason why Jen Glantz, a 26-year-old copywriter and author of All My Friends Are Engaged, created BridesmaidforHire.com. In short, her service acts as a "gal pal" for the bride.

Bridesmaid for Hire features four packages for brides to choose from, with prices ranging from a few hundred dollars to $2,000. The cheapest package is a virtual consultation where they will assist with planning, problem solving and to-do lists through the use of an online video collaboration tool.

Read MorePrenups: Not just for the 1 percent anymore

The most expensive package is the hands-on "bridesmaid by your side" option for $2,000, which will provide on-ground support for all pre-wedding events and actual participation as a bridesmaid or maid of honor in the wedding party. According to Glantz, the average package sold is between $1,000 to $1,200.

The concept of hiring a wedding professional may be approaching a cultural watershed. Witness the recently released movie "Wedding Ringer" that chronicles the story of a socially awkward guy who hires a professional who provides best men for needy grooms. Separately, the 2011 hit "Bridesmaids" showed the disaster that can ensue when you opt to go the traditional route with friends.

The growing popularity of hiring professional wedding party participants begs the question of the price tag that we are willing to allocate to look good in front of other people. So how much is your ego really worth?
