Note 338 — Chapter XVII · DOMESTIC SERVICE IN EUROPE
Reading edition
Braun, chaps. VII., XI.
“In England situations are usually subject to a month’s notice on either side.”—Booth, VIII., 221.
No special contract is made in France, with the result that “one changes domestics these days almost as often as political convictions.”—Weber, p. 45.
In Italy, also, no special contract is required, though a servant cannot be turned off without giving him ten days’ notice or a week’s wages.
