I agree totally. My maid's 4 th contract started 4 months ago. She actually asked me this morning to terminate and re-hire her. I discuss with her about the airticket, and she agreed that since she does not need to leave HK, there is no reason she wants money for air ticket. I told her I would rather raise her salary than paying the stupid government. I agree to give her the extra holiday that she is entitled to, and of course, later to pro rate her long service. She will do everything else on her own and I will pay the fee.
I think if your maid if good, really worth giving them the benefit than wasting the tax money. I am sure your maid will really appreciate and work harder, this way, moneyis better spent than throwing it down the drain --- to the governement.
