Wage expectations for local help?

5 years ago

Looking for advice on how much to pay for local help.
Cayo region
I have someone now who is supposed to works 5 hours per week. Aprox 2 1/2 hours twice a week. Job entails general cleanup of fallen coconuts, tree branches, watering new fruit trees, chopping weeds close to house and any other labour to fill the time as not really enough to fill the full 5 hours per week. The person I have now is constantly trying to find ways to get more money (and with less work) and now wanting a higher wage. Maybe I am not paying enough. Maybe I'm paying too much and being taken advantage of. I'd like to pay a proper wage.

My question is what per hour or for the total of 20 hours per month should I be paying for this type of help?
