Filipina Domestic Helper Hong Kong - Top 7 Causes Of Termination

By Alice Sy

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.

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.

The way you communicate with the family members is an important aspect of your job. It can be your make or break. There might be a family member who can only speak their native language. If communicating in any way will be very difficult for the two of you, it can serve as a reason for your termination.

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.

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.

Another thing that can lead to your termination is the financial condition of your employer. You may be the best Filipina maid around, but if your employer's business or career got downsized, and she will soon realize that she cannot continue to pay for your service, she may just decide to let go of you.
