Filipina Domestic Helper Hong Kong - 7 Common Termination Causes

The relationship between an employer and a Filipina domestic helper in Hong Kong is bound by a contract. There are certain rules that you will have to comply with to keep your job. To be able to avoid this experience, here are 7 termination reasons that you should be aware of:

As much as you can, avoid becoming a guarantor to a friend who is trying to borrow money from a debtor. If that friend of yours won’t be able to pay what she has borrowed, the collector will keep on bugging you even to the point of calling your employer’s residential number everyday. When this happens, your employer will definitely be pissed off and might decide to fire you out.

A jealous employer wife can cause your downfall. You might get terminated because of this. Your employer would have no choice but give you up to avoid the coming of bigger problems.

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.

When you’re employer expects too much from you and you cannot meet her expectations, it can also lead to termination. Therefore, it will be important for you to assess if you can work for a certain person or not.

Employers have the right to terminate the service of a disobedient maid. Therefore, make sure that you are obedient to them. Aside from being hard working and skilled, the attitude is also an important factor that employers look for in a domestic helper.

Stealing is not just a bad attitude. It is a crime as well. If you will be caught in this doing, your termination will come in a flash and you might have no choice but to serve a sentence in jail. There may be temptations in your employer’s house but keep in mind that your job and your dignity as a Filipina are more important than obtaining those items through theft.

Sometimes, the reason for getting terminated from your job is the sudden downfall of your employer. He may suddenly experience bankruptcy, demotion, termination and the likes. His financial status will serve as a big factor which will lead him to come up with the decision to give you up.
