Our helper has recently started with us, and we are leaving for a 2 week vacation soon. She eats all her meals with us, so we don't give her a food allowance. What would an appropriate amount be to leave her, while we are away for the 2 weeks?

We give 750/month. Recommended by the agency.

we give 1,000 a month, just to give you idea and they have all our bred, milk, rice, spices, coffee, tea, breakfast stuff - so generally it is just for their veg and meat/fish... I think $500 should be ok for 2 wks
Please support our advertisers:
Yes, 500 is reasonable if she could help herself with other stuffs like rice, spices etc.
I hope that when given the choice between what is right to what is kind, we all should chose the later. Just my 2 cents.

What's the amount required by law to give for the weekend day off?
Please support our advertisers:
None that I know if, omarison. However, some employers gives between 20-100 to cover cost and transportation. This usually applies to helper who works in Discovery Bay, NT's. Very rarely though. Helpers who normally help our during mahjong sessions the night before were given between 100-200 as extra money during their offs.

it depends on your relationship with your dh. you can give her HK$1,000 (i think it's more than enough), then just give you back the remaining when you come back (to be used for marketing, etc.) In this way you will have peace of mind that you have given her enough money for her food allowance.

She has only been with us for 2 weeks, but we have a good relationship. I will also be leaving "emergency" money with her on top of the food allowance. She will be taking care of our cats while we are away.
