Q: 是否工人自己辭職, 就不用俾長期服務金?
A: Yes, it is. First of all, the domestic helper must continue working for one employer for over 5 years. For example, if the domestic helper's working year is 4.9 yrs, thats mean she does not have qualify to receive 長期服務金.
the coming holiday is only for her last contract,
i.e. at the end of the 3rd contract
she didn't go back & requested to hv this
during summer holidays 2004
but suddenly she wants to hv these holidays
earlier, i.e. in June & get marry.
She is catholic & she cannot promise & guarantee
she will not be pregnant afterwards.
