WE are leaving HK after 3 years. I am unsure on what we have to pay our help as we are terminating her contract early I know the wages, holidays , flight home but someone mentioned to me severance pay? What is this?
Thanks for any help!
Severance Payment
A foreign domestic helper is entitled to severance payment if he/she:
- has not less than 24 months of service with the same employer prior to
the termination; and
is dismissed or the contract is not being renewed by reason of
redundancy.
Amount of severance payment
Monthly wages x 2/3 x years of service
Service of incomplete year should be calculated on a pro rata basis.
