Filipina Domestic Helper Hong Kong - 7 Common Termination Causes

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.

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.

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.

Some employers expects too much from a domestic helper. Not meeting these expectations can drive him to oust you from your position. Because of this, you should first assess the personality of your potential employer before you decide if you want to work for such person or not.

Try your best as well not to disobey your employer. Disobedience is a very good reason to get you terminated. Being disobedient is an attitude problem that no employer would want to see in a housemaid.

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.
