We have been offered a part time helper (legal of course) and have been told her hourly rate is $70 per hour. Is this excessive and what should the cost be?
Thanks

Mrs Savage, Thanks for the info. Your helper sounds ideal. It might be good.
Mrs. Savage>>
I hired a local part time DH with the help of the Labour Department, but you have to negotiate the salary with the potential DH. They will ask where abouts you live and the more prestige the area, the higher they charge cos they think you can afford it and why not rip you off ?!?!?!
Normally the range can be anything btw HK$50-65 per hour. HK$70 is pretty rare, but if she is efficient and honest why not? You can always raise her hourly pay if you are satisfied with her work.
In addition, I noticed that all the locals speak only a little English, and if you cannot speak Cantonese you need to find a P/T Filippino DH, just make sure that they can be legally employed in HK. I tried that before too, and their practice (i.e. asking where you live) and rate is similar to the locals.
Good luck!
Mrs Savage, can you give me the number of your part timer too. I have no maid and need some part time help. Or if she herself has no time, maybe she has a friend she can recommend.
