Hi ayui,
1) If I decided to employ this new maid (yet she still have a contract with another employer), can I do it by myself to sign her up without going through agency (as I already wasted a lot of money on it, this is third trial)? How long does it takes? Does she needs to go back to phil to file the case as an new application? Is there any training she need to attend?
ANS:{You can process it yourself. The process is 6 to 8 weeks. As she break/terminate her contract with her employer, she will have to depart Hong Kong. If she had finished/completed at least one contract in Hong Kong she can be exempted from training and test.}
2) Or if I choose to go through my existing agency (say I've right to get an overseas replacement). Can I just giving them administration fee for this application? The new maid is very concern about the agency fee on her part, do you think she need to pay money for that? any how much will it cost?
ANS:{You have to check with your agent about the charges.}
3) which one is the faster way? I really in a rush?
ANS:{Agent can definately process it faster then doing it yourself. Anyway, the agency charges is not expensive comparing with the time and expenses occured by doing it yourself. Market charges is around HKD3000-3500.}
4) Depends on the situation, I may keep the old maid at the moment until the new maid comes, what do you think, it is too dangerous / annoyance brought from the loan shark?
ANS:{Normally, the loan shark won't bother the employer. But if the creditor can trace to your address, she have to continue to pay them to avoid you terminating her due to their disturbance. You should talk to your maid to ask if she is willing to continue making the payment, if not, it would be better that you terminate her immediately.}
HI amywong214,
(1) Do i need to pay her annual leave (prorata)? even though she just worked for me for 5 months?
ANS:{Yes, as long as she had completed her first 3 months.}
(2) She lives in Manado Indonesia. Travel agent tells me there's no open ticket, so need to buy ticket with a date but can change date with no charge. What date should I buy? If she miss her flight, do I need to buy her another ticket?
ANS:{You can buy the flight date to be on 12th or 13th April. But make sure it is valid for at least 14 days so even if she miss her flight she can still change without extra charges.}
Hi syabb,
我新請的bun bun 原本定於4月4日到HK, 後來佢話屋企有事要遲1日到, 但我agent話4月5日係假期, 無得做驗身和來身份證, 所以叫bun bun 4月10日到(即昨天), 但我agent4月9日打電話比我話個bun bun未借到錢比菲律賓agent公司, 所以, 4月10日未必到, 但我舊工人已經完約走了, 極度等人用, 我想問我應該繼續等佢借到錢, 亦或找個一個新bun bun, 而且我agent 話已經成日打電話去追個邊的菲律賓agent公司, 佢話個邊d工人走數走得好勁, 所以菲律賓agent公司企得好硬, 一定要夠錢先可以來HK, 咁我 agnet 講的說話又是否可信?
ANS:{確係無錢唔放人,但Phil Agent應該一早幫佢安排好財務,唔應該咁遲先知。你要迫Agent俾日期,夠景要你等到幾時先,唔可以無了期咁等。我諗你最好找定一個新bun bun做後備好D}

ANS:{The others are standard like Air ticket and allowance etc.}
2. If my new maid is under 25yrs old now, after I terminate her, does she need to go back Philipines absoulately?
ANS:{The age limit had been changed to minimum 23 years old. All terminated maid have to exit Hong Kong.}

ANS:{As long as had completed at least one full contract term before in Hong Kong she can be exempted from the training and exam.}
3. My friend told me that one agency process the direct hire application just require the employer to pay the fee (~HK$32xx), and no need the maid to pay any agency fee in philipines. Is it true?
ANS:{True. Market price around HKD3000 to HKD3500.}
4. If I find another contract finishing maid already in HK. When they changing the new employer in HK, do they need to go back to Philipines again? That means I cannot find the maid in a short time and already in HK?
