Would like to ask in your experience does the Agency Fee and services include meeting the DH at the airport, taking them to get the HKID card and do they deliver the girl to you or do you pick her up at their office?
Thanks

I don't know about meeting the DH at the airport, but my agency does the HKID part, and ensure the girl reaches our place, and a medical exam IN Hong Kong. If the girl is NEW, they met up with her, brought her to the employer's home and helped them get the HKID card the next day ,and arranged for the medical exam too.
If the girl has experience in HK, then they didn't. The girl just shows up by herself through her her way of transportation.

we used an agency and no, they did not do any of it. and she had never been to HK before so had to go and do it all herself

ldsllvn,
How did she know how to get to your home? If they come from the Philippines (or wherever) how do they have the HK$ or ticket to get to you?
If the agency fee includes these larger items, do they charge the DH for the smaller less significant to the employer? What if they arrive and you aren't ready to have them come into the home for a day or two, who will pay for the expenses of that? I know many of the stay in a boarding house, but really they have to eat right? Do you reimburse them or does the agency give them a couple hundred to hold them over?

she already had family here, so I guess they told her, not sure - anyway, she did turn up!! Not sure what the agence charges the helpers, I am afraid - sorry hkwatcher, not much help! Am sure if they arrive and you are not ready you have to sort something out for them - since they came on your contract, you are responsible for them tho. Pretty sure it is your expense..

My agency does not do the airport pick up or the HK identity card. They made it all quite clear. We will be quite excited actually to go and pick our helper up when she arrives. She and we are all very excited about her starting.

The agency I used include free airport pick up, HK ID and body check for those maids provided by the agency. After finishing all these, they will send the maid to me.
