Illegal part time helper

Posted by kittycat2 (211 days ago)

Does anyone know of a case when an employer/helper has actually been caught? Half the shops where I live are staffed by Indonesian 'helpers', and there are plenty of p-t cleaners working on DH contracts. If I do this will I go to jail.......

Find what you are after in our Hong Kong A-Z Directory

I thought the same until I spoke to Sally who handles signs up of helpers for our site... she is aware of many helpers serving their 3months in prison before being deported and a fair number of employers who have been fined 50k

The chances of being caught are probably fairly small yet it does happen

Ouch...I'm sometimes one to 'harmlessly reinterpret the law to suit my needs' but this is one area I might stay on the straight and narrow with!
