If found out and convicted the maximum is HK$50,000 and 2 years in prison. All this information is available on the immigration website.

And that's only for you. For the helper it's also jail and then deportation with no prospect of future entry to HK. Of course those are the max, and the chances of getting caught are fairly slim - but it's still illegal. I know of only one case about 5 years ago involving a US citizen who got a 50K fine and a ban on employing FDHs, and the helper got 6 months and was then deported. In that case there was additional regular PT work involved as well as unapproved live-out.
