| For helper |
| Q10.1 |
Is my employer responsible for paying my passage back to my
place of origin upon termination or expiry of the contract? |
| A |
Yes. Upon termination or expiry of the contract, your employer
should provide free passage, usually an air ticket covering airport
tax for you to return to your place of origin, and a daily food and
travelling allowance. |
| For employer |
| Q10.2 |
What kind of air-ticket should I provide for my helper upon
expiry or termination of contract? Should it be open-date or
fixed-date? |
| A |
This is not specified in the employment contract. Both parties may
agree on an open-date or fixed-date ticket. However, you may wish to
provide an open-date ticket in case your helper is unable to use a
fixed-date ticket due to unforeseen circumstances. |
| Q10.3 |
How many days' food and travelling allowance is payable to my
helper under the employment contract? |
| A |
It depends on the journey time between Hong Kong and your helper's
place of origin provided that he/she travels by the most direct route.
In general, if your helper is from an Asian country, one to two days'
food and travelling allowance should suffice. |
