An employee, irrespective of his length of service, is entitled to the following statutory holidays :
the first day of January

the second day of Lunar New Year

Tuen Ng Festival
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day, being the first day of July

Clause 6 of I.D.407(i.e. Employment Contract) states that "The Helper shall be entitled to all rest days, statutory holidays, and paid annual leave as specified in the Employment Ordinance, Chapter 57."
Based on the Employment Contract and the Employment Ordinance, they are entitled to 12 days statutory holidays only (not public holidays). Easter Holidays are Public Holidays only and are not statutory holidays. They are not entitled to the Easter Holidays. If your maid wants to be off on these days, you can deduct from her annual leave.
If your maid insists on being off on Easter Holidays, you can treat these Easter Holidays as compensation day-off (it is because you do not follow the Employment Ordinance).
