Maid borrow loans

My maid tried to resign last month. When I asked her to give me written resignation. She said she did not mean it.

After one week, she told me her dad passed away so she need to get back to Phillippines. Then, I found out that she has just (on the day she told me her dad passed away - it was her regular day off) borrowed $10,000 from JCG.

I found that she kept the money in her wallet all the time. (So, she did not borrow to send home.)

I asked her to give me death certificate. She said her dad die at home, so no death cert (BS!!) When I insist, she said her dad was already burried, so no need to get home.

Then, she told me she want to leave for a week holiday in mid June (when the first instalment repayment due).

What should I do?

She seems to be helpful at home sometimes.

Should I trust her she will get back? So far, I am still 15, 16 and think that what she told may be true. But cannot convince myself since too much coincidence.

Will she run away and never get back????

Please advice. Sorry very long. Just want to vent.

Re: Maid borrow loans

sweetma,

Forget the good old days with your maid! She is well-planned to "托水龍"！

There is NO reason for you to believe her words and NO point for your maid to come back to HK.

$10,000 is a sum huge enough for her to be a rich woman in the Philippines, and huge enough for you to suffer after she leaves.

Tell the case to your agent and let them do the rest.

Re: Maid borrow loans

Hi yan_yan_mummy and bbboop,

Thanks for your advice.
I have talked to my agent. But she just suggest me to let her take the vacation and ask her to give me a written notice that we can take this as her resignation if she does not come back by a certain date.

Does this work?

I also found that she has bought a lot of new stuff for her husband and kids. Doesn't look like she is very sad about her father's death. Seems very excited about her return trip.

But how can someone lie about her own's father death? Cannot imagine.

What should I do? Should I terminate her?

But I also think that it may be too cruel if she really lost her dad and terminated by employer at the same time.

Re: Maid borrow loans

Thanks Diamond,

Should I pretend I do not know what she was doing?

But I can't, I need to find a replacement if she was running away.

What if she really came back?

Re: Maid borrow loans

If I were you, I will get a replacement first. Usually, it takes time to get a visa. If she come back, you might cancel the application.
However, I think your maid would not come back anymore. You should hold her one month salary and should not provide airticket to her.
If she insist you to pay her air ticket first, you just tell her you don't have any money and no such liability. If she hasn't got any money, then do not go back to Philipine. She need to pay her air ticket anyway.
You hold the one month salary, just tell her directly you will release the payment as soon as she come back.
You must ask her to sign a resignation letter. If she is not come back, fax the resignation letter to the immigration dept. immediately.
How long is the contract left? Be careful, she will get pregnancy when she come back. If the contract is less than 9 months, you can let her go without injection.

Good advice.

Her contract started last June. That means she has just finished 1 year contract.

What's the implication of her getting pregnant if she do come back? I recalled that she told me one time her friend got pregnant after she come back from a home trip. I was very surprised and have never thought that Phil maid can get pregnant during their contract.

Is this also a common trick played by Phil maid?

我會扮唔知,一來我估你都係偷偷地摷佢d野先知啦,你問佢咪即係話比佢知你摷佢d野,二來佢地借$唔犯法,呢d係佢既c人事,唔構成我地炒佢唔補$既原因.

如果我係你,我仲好滿意佢既工作表現,又想用返佢既,就等佢返黎(如果佢真係返的話)先拆穿佢,扮係佢放假時財務公司d人打過黎...........話比佢知你知佢借

Re: Maid borrow loans

Yes, if she come back with pregancy, around 4-5 months, she will tell you she can't clean the floor and the window, she can't hanging the clothes...etc. Almost not doing anything. However, you can't fire her because she is pregancy. Before the contract is finished, she will entitle around 2 months holiday. After her delivery, you have to serve her, such as cooking for her, taking care of the baby for her...etc. Then you will be a maid and she will be the master. Do you want to be like this? Don't laught, this is a real case that I've ever seen. It is true.
If I were you I will not let her go. Her annual holiday can be arranged by the employer, not the employee or mutual agreement. If she insist to have holidays, then you could arrange 4-5 months before the contract is finished. Even she is pregancy, you don't have to take the liability. She will have delivery after the contract is finished.

仲有成年約,佢邊有假呀 :-x 你千祈唔好出糧比佢住,同埋唔好同佢出機票,如果佢話冇$,你就同佢講冇$就唔好返住,橫掂佢都冇假(佢d假suppost要完約先可以放) :-x

我上次唔出糧比我隻賓,佢同我講話冇$寄行李,你都要預下佢地有乜籍口,如果佢話冇$寄行李,你同佢講叫佢冇$唔好寄咁多 :-x
