Maids, Gig Workers Use Main Lift At Gurugram Apartment, Fined Rs 100

A Gurugram housing society penalised domestic helpers and delivery personnel for taking the main lift instead of the service lift. The problem was exposed after a Reddit user posted images of the notice and fine slips, which created much buzz online. The notice, posted within the building, directed all domestic helpers and delivery personnel to utilise only the service lift. It stated, "All domestic helpers and delivery staff, please use the service lift only." The policy appeared to limit workers' use of regular elevators, imposing a separate-use policy within the society. The post also had photographs of the fine receipts given to employees. One of the receipts featured a woman named Kajal, who was described as a "maid" and was fined Rs 100 for "not following rules."
