Hi jf830,
My maid will take her annual leave back to Phil. for 2 weeks this Saturday. I want to know what document she need to sign before she leave?
ANS:{By Law nothing to sign, but for your only use you can asked her to write a letter regarding her vacation starting from/until when, after the date if she not come back will treat it as her resign. In case she no show after holidays, you no need to wait & wait & wait...}
Hi Mimichuchu,
My Indo helper contract will be ended in June and I am looking for a Phil Helper.
My friend's maid refer a helper to me, Ms C. Ms C contract with her current employer will end in Sep while her current employer terminate her contract in March with 1 month notice, so her contract will be ended in Apr. I have some questions.
***If I employ Ms. C, whether I can do it without agent? If so, what's the procedure and cost
ANS:{Yes you can process it yourself, first of all you need to go to Philippines Consulate asked for permission to process without Agent. If they permits, they will tell you the next procedure how to process. Meanwhile, when you get the contract & forms from HK Immigration they will also enclosed a guildline to teach you how to apply for the domestic helper visa. Cost: Contract $297.50, HK visa fee$160, Phil POEA $600 and airticket from Phil to HK $1,000. My suggestion is to process it through Agent as it is very tedious work and time consuming. Some Agent charge only HK$2500-3000.}
***Ms C will be backed to Phil since she was terminated, I need her to be backed in Jun, so when shall I start to do the new contract with immigration?
ANS:{NOW, you can process even when she is still in HK.}
***And whether she need to sign anything to ensure she will be backed.
ANS:{NO GUARANTEE, YOU CAN'T DO ANYTING IF SHE DON'T WANT TO COME BACK!}
***Whether I shall be responsible for her airticket?
ANS:{Yes, airticket from Phil to HK}
***Shall I call her current employer to see why they terminate Ms C suddenly?
ANS:{If you can check, why not?}
Hi anpanman68,
工人做了4年半, 現打算於工人4月放大假前通知她要終止合約, 返菲後不用再回港.
(因為對工人有不滿, 屢勸但仍不能達至滿意, 而且大家時常黑面對大家) 想問:
--我要同時給她2次 (放大假及終止合約) 機票?
"工人自己在香港請時無經agent的"
ANS:{No Need,一張單程返菲律賓机票即可}
--工人由15/4放至6/5, 若一個月前通知她, 我應哪一天通
知她終止合約?要補多少天的薪金? (每月19號出糧)
ANS:{如果15/4走,應該16/3就要通知佢,而家28/3通知27/4走,所以16/4至27/4以通知金代替}
還有什麼要補償給她? 可否給我計算應付多少?
ANS:{人工19/3至15/4 + 16/4至27/4代通知金 +大假錢+車飯費$150+單程返原居地机票}
--如日後只聘請鐘點給現工人知道, (現考慮日後只聘請鐘點)
是否工人可向我取回遣散費?
ANS:{一定會,所以唔好給工人知道}
最後, 可以提供終止合約及簽收補償的sample?
ANS:{可以,PM你email address俾我}

Hi yankimama :
1) My friend recommend me a Philino maid which she want to terminate the contract with her. The maid has been working for her for 1 year. My friend wants to terminate her in the reason of Financial Problem which the maid no need to go back to Philippines. But my friend also has another maid under her name. (It means my friend will terminate one with financial problem, & at the same time keep another maid). Is it reasonable to use financial problem & the maid need to go back to Philippines?
{Yes, it is. Due to financial problem your friend can only keep one instead of two. Sounds reasonable.}
2) Originally, I have applied a maid from overseas, but she didn’t show up, the agent told me that she broke her leg & can’t come. I think this is only an excuse that the maid doesn’t come. Under this reason, can I ask a refund from the agent or what I can do to get back the agent fee?
{That depends on the agreement conditions that you had signed when you engaged them for service. Have you tried talking to your agent?Normally the agent will do refund. If they are unreasonable, you can approach the Consumer Council for assistance.}
