I totally agree that my brother was the first problem. I had the same feeling as yours when I discussed with him last Sun, but after all, he’s my beloved brother. He is too easy going and so the maid has such an attitude. The maid was not as cunning as now when she worked for me 6 yrs ago when she first came to HK. He is willing to compensate the bitch for his mistakes (renew her contract and let her go home) but feeling extremely pissed off. He feels very hopeless as there is no justice in the Law. His latest idea is letting the bitch to stay here and work as usual until he cannot stand with her (cos her tummy gets bigger and bigger and her actions getting slower) or the bitch can’t stand with the family (in case she has health problems), they will then agree the bill and separated. In fact, my brother is that kind of person who willing to spend money in return for a peaceful mind, but it will definitely set a bad example for other DH to abuse the current legislation.
Anyway, I’ll encourage him to do something on her and let her know that our HK ERs are not as easy as they think. Thanks for all your replies again. Also, pls learn from my brother’s case
1) 帶佢去醫生到打避孕針 before she goes home is the best and only way to protect ourselves if she is still at fertility age.
2) Pre- signed resignation letter is useless in case of pregnancy or sickness.
Tweetybird, I agree with u that the maid has an incentive to stay unless she has health problem. But the point is our Gov’t has never protected the taxpayers through legislation, instead we have to protect ourselves through all kinds of 剋薄 actions to defer the unreasonable claims from them. Do the Gov’t know that they are creating a conflicting situation between ERs and DHs and worsen the relationship. I think the pregnant maids are not protected to such an extent in their home countries.
