Filipina Domestic Helper Hong Kong – 7 Common Termination Causes

When you are working in Hong Kong as a Filipina domestic helper, you will be bound by a contract. If you want to longer your employment, you have to obey certain rules. You have to do your part in order to keep your job. There are, however, various reasons why employers terminate the service of their housemaids and you should be aware of these reasons. Below are some of them:

If you guaranteed a friend on a debt that she wasn’t able to pay, the collector will keep on bothering you. He will even call your employer’s home phone too often. When your employer gets annoyed by what’s going on, he might be forced to fire you out. Therefore, as much as you can, avoid signing up as a guarantor to anyone’s debt in Hong Kong.

Only a few may know but jealousy can be a cause of termination. If your employer’s wife starts becoming jealous of you, you can be terminated. This would likely happen to avoid complicating matters between you and your employer’s family.

Sometimes, a family has a member who can only speak Cantonese. If communication would be a problem and the two of you would not be able to relate to each other, it could risk your job. Some employers prefer housemaids who can speak even a bit of their language.

Another problem that can lead to your termination is having an employer who will expect too much from you. He will terminate you if you will fall short of his expectations. For this reason, know what a potential employer expects from you before signing up a contract with him.

Disobedience is a great offense to employers. A disobedient maid will be terminated; therefore, make sure that you have an obedient attitude. Obedience is a virtue and every employer would like to see this character on their housemaids.

Theft is a grave offense. If you will be caught stealing from your employer, you will not only be terminated. You can also be sent to jail. Hence, do not sacrifice your job and the trust of your employer just because you got tempted to steal something from her.

There are some cases where in your termination is not your fault. Sometimes, the problem is in your employer’s financial status. Cases such as bankruptcy, loss of job and others will leave him no choice but do some cost cutting strategies, which may include living without a maid. He may come to a decision of terminating your service, not because you did not work well but because he will not be able to pay your salary anymore.
