friends leaving HK - Taking over their helper Posted by scotsgirlinhk (120 days ago) our friend are currently paying their full time live out helpr 6k.............is it ok to negotiate this if it is a brang new contract? Find what you are after in our Hong Kong A-Z Directory  Posted by axptguy38 (120 days ago) 6k is pretty high. Not that a good helper isn't worth it. It should also be noted that live outs are illegal in most cases. Posted by scotsgirlinhk (120 days ago) really? i didnt know that.what is the average rate then? Posted by GreenValleys (120 days ago) You might take over the helper but you cannot take over the contract. It requires a totally new contract which is not subject to anything that might (or might not) have been included in a previous contract. If she has been paid that much she might well feel she can demand that of any prospective new employer, but there will be few willing to pay that much. I think you should go lower, and unless you desperately want her she would have a choice between taking it and leaving it. And I echo the comments about live-out arrangements in general being illegal. As reported elsewhere in this forum there have been cases where Immigration approves it but such approval must be justified and not taken for granted. Posted by Moppet (119 days ago) 6K isn't high for live out, of course we all know it's illegal in most cases but people still seem to do it so little point in going over that again. Posted by ldsllvn (119 days ago) not high - it is what we pay ours - it does include her food allowance tho - $5k salary and $1k food - and yes - live out is illegal - you have to have it approved by Immigration, which is almost impossible i understand Posted by GreenValleys (118 days ago) Moppet, |
