yes. this was what my agency told me.
my personal opioion is that i do not want to.
first, the maid may not work for me for 2 years (at least). if she only works for 2 weeks, why do i need to pay? there is no protest for us (employer). Even the job market in HK, i believe the agency cannot get pay immediately after they place the candidates to the employers. In DH market, why do we not get this kind of protention?
Second, it cost me over HK$10k to hire a maid. it is too expensive for me.
