論盡家傭 今日: 1|主題: 134080

Hi mom2twins,

One further question - My maid started on 20th March of this year. She has been taking unpaid leave for the past statutory holidays (i.e. 5th April and 1 May) as I understand the 1st 3 months she isn't entitled to paid statutory leave. I would like to know whether I have to pay for the next statutory holiday i.e. 19th June. Thx in advance.

ANS:{From March 20th to April 19th is one full month. April 20th toMay 19th is second full month. May 20th to June 19th is third full month. That means you have to pay for the June 19th statutory holiday.}

Hi Jolly,

我工人今月十一日抵港, 十二日到我家開始工作, 到月尾理應有三日off day, 我給她放sunday, 但今月十三日佢由於剛到港人生路不熟所以沒有放假, 只放余下二十和二十七日.
我想問我今個月應給她出多少糧呢? (月尾是cut off day)

ANS:{Her first working day should start counting from 11th May. From 11th May to 31st May is total 21 days. Add 1 day which she did not take leave. Total is 22 days of salary.

HKD3400/31 X 22 = HKD2412.90}

Hi AmieMaMa,

I have got the following questions, hope you can give me some hints!

1. If I terminate my maid within contract period, can she still work in HK if she can find another employer? I heard the agency said she can only stay in HK for 14 days and immigration will not allow her to start a new contract even she find a new employer, is that true?

ANS:{Yes it is true, Immigration not allowed the terminated maid to change employer in HK, except the following 3 reasons they can changed employer in HK after their termination: 1) Employer immigrate to other country, 2) Employer have financial problem, 3) Employer died.

2. On the other hand, if I want to recuit a maid while she is voluntary early completion of her contract, will this recruitment be success? What is difference between " I terminate her" and "mutually early completion"?

ANS:{Early completion of contract only allowed not more than 28 days before the visa expiry. If more than 28 days it will be treated as termination. If really finished contract with early released of course you can employ her as local changed emplyer. If she is terminated she need to wait for the visa out of Hong Kong}

3. What is OWWA?

ANS:{OWWA=Overseas Worker Welfare Assocation
a welfare union under Philippines Labour Dept.}

Is it complursory application for a maid when renewal her contract?

ANS:{Yes and it should pay by the employer.}

Hi NO.1YUET,

My maid will come on mid Jul, actully agency will bring her to body check but I also worry it is enough or not and I would like to bring her to my doctor to check again but need to wait 1 week to get the result. During this week, will you bring her back to home or leave her in agancy?

ANS:{Medical by agency is OK, why not trust?? The medical check up is done by the Laboratory & the medical report is issued by the doctor not agency!
For my understanding, the result only need to wait for 2 days not a week. If need to wait for a week I will bring her home, because you need to pay for the salary and boarding house and food for the maid during the week waiting for the medical report. You will waste a lot of money for that}

Hi funfunamy,

My maid informed that she would like to terminate the contract and work for me until end of Aug. She gave me 1-month notice on 28/May decided that to leave early on 28/June. My questions are:

1. My direct hiring maid from Philippines is now being processed, the form to immigration will state as replacement, do I need to prepare another letter to Immigrate to inform of the terminiation of this existing maid?

ANS:{Yes, within 7 days after your maid left your house, you have to write a letter to Immigration regarding the termination.}

2. Her last working day will be on 27/Jun and I will prepare her a one-way ticket on 28/Jun. Can I request her to leave my house at the end of 27/Jun. Any insurance issue or anything will need to be considered?

ANS:{You can request her to leave at anytime on June 27, nothing to consider}

3. Do you have any sample for calculation regarding the salary, annual leave, travelling allowance when my existing maid depart?

ANS:{Yes, just give me your email address I will send the samples as per your requested}

Hi hellojoyce,

我朋友話唔會用"Immigrate to Canada"既reason,因為佢返香港後會再請工人!所以,我相信工人要返一返Philipine先得!請問:

ANS:{咁叫你朋友照寫去Canada for few months，入境處都有可能接受佢係HK轉僱主}

(1)工人話佢如果要返菲律賓,再返香港時要考試,真的嗎?(我淨係聽過如未做滿一年,要上training咋喎!)因為佢話唔想去考果個試!

ANS:{最少要係香港做滿2年先可免試，邊到佢話唔想去考果個試呀!? 夠景佢想唔想返黎香港做架?除非佢唔返菲律賓去澳門等visa出就唔使考試}

(2)叫工人帶成套文件去辦手續,咁即係連我既financial supporting都過埋佢手,亦比佢睇埋,會唔會唔係咁好?!我可唔可以再用個envelop入好及黐好先叫佢交上去入境處6樓?

ANS:{可以入落信封及黐好先叫佢交上去入境處，但如果唔係香港轉僱主，就唔係去6樓及做法有唔同，你可睇返簡介}

(3)有冇規定話佢要出境幾耐先可以再返黎香港?

ANS:{佢係從新申請大約等4-6星期先會出Visa，出左visa寄去菲律賓俾工人做出境手續約2星期，合共約兩個月先可到港。}
