The average annual salary in Sri Lanka is $2400 and that's for someone that has experience and some type of professional education, the average annual salary in the US is about $35,000 so if he's paying him $5 a day he's earning the normal salary for his country
Proportionally speaking, then, $5 in Sri Lanka is equitable to about $72.92 in the United States, or an hourly wage of about $9.11.
Is $9.11 per hour in the United States exploitation? Just curious.
Raise his fee/s if you're already profiting from the hard labor.. don't take advantage of the needy. $5.00/8hrs work won't pay enough for electricity and internet connection. Believe me, giving back will reward you ten folds.
It has been said twice now. The OP is covering the cost of Internet and electricity used to do his job. Thus, the employee is not paying for those things as they pertain to his employment.
And given the average salary, it would appear that it would cover the necessary costs of living.
welcome to modern slavery![]()
Please elaborate.
