I created a thread yesterday but apparently deleted by accident(?) or something... concerning about my sister who's been working there in HK for almost two months. Since she couldn't stand her employer and the family's maltreatment ( shouting at her all the time... for God' sake my sister is not stupid. She's a good worker and very patient! ), she had to terminate her contract by giving her Boss a one month notice. Instead of coming to an agreement the employer ordered her to leave that day saying they are not going to pay her a full month salary and the airfare. They even told her to sign a paper that both party have agreed to pay her a half month salary but my sister refused and that infuriated her employer. Dear Editor, please re-read my first thread! I am not here to find a new job for my sister but to get some idea or help from people who's concern... some information on how she's going to deal with her problem as I cannot help her. In fact, I told my sister to get her salary and her airfare and then join me here in Beijing. I am at a loss... please help!

Your sister needs to go to Immigration and Labour ASAP and explain the situation, as well as the consulate.
The longer she waits, the less likely they are to believe her story.
She also needs to have as much documentation as possible. (Her contract, resignation letter, salary slips and any other information)
Keep in mind, the employers will be doing the same thing, and if they wrote for advice on this forum, they would get similar advice.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot to all of you!I extend my gratitude also to all who replied the other day though I was not able to view because my first thread was deleted.
My sister was able to go to the Phil. Consulate. I don't understand why the Consulate told her that the employer has to pay her only 17 days since that was the last time she was working ( same day when she was ordered to leave ) and as for her airfare my sister didn't mention anything. She said the Consulate told her that the employer has the right to terminate her or order her to leave immediately although she gave them a one month notice. Fine, but why pay her only 17 days salary?
Desperate mom I don't know how to send you a private message. Could you PM me instead? Sorry but I'm new to this site. Thanks again.

ezbabes,
Sending a PM is really quite...um...easy babes! Go to your Control Panel (top left corner of this screen) and then something like 'Send message'. From the drop-down list select the name of the person you want to send the message to...and type away.

Thanks TC :-)! I got it already last night. Must be overstressed with work and about my sis that I couldn't relax these days.

Thanks beancurd! My sister is upset about the advise of the Philippine Consulate... that she should only be paid 17 days when as far as I knew it should be a one month salary. My sister texted me today saying that she will try to refund her return ticket from the travel agency since her broker said it's a non-refundable one. The immigration gave her two weeks grace and it will expire on the 30th of this month. She now decided to come to Beijing as she is too tired of "begging and bargaining" with her broker! I advised her to go to the Labour office and I'm still waiting for her reply.
Again, thanks a lot to all of your support! :-)
