There are always rumors of this. Always. However for now I don't think there is any evidence.

There was some article in SCMP today,page A3, about lower paid workers getting increases, but they were mentioning an elderly Chinese man who had been earning 7hkd per hour cleaning and living in a public toilet, and also lower paid shop workers, who were a poor hourly rate. It did mention Shops and restaurants might have to increase the price a little to be able to afford staff wages.It said the bill would be extended to include Domestic workers, to include payment of travelling time to get to work, so I presume this meant Local Domestic workers as opposed to Foreign Domestic workers, who get free accomodation, electricity, gas, health insurance, travel to their home countries and other perks if you can call them that. The artical did not Mention specifically FDH's.
I think the Bill will be passed fairly soon, and they will no doubt publish it for all to see. But as yet still no concrete evidence of anything. So we will just have to wait and see.

Thanks Cara I checked it out, minumum wage bill results to be announced before end of next Month -August, and implimented early next year, the news paper artical was not really clear on who would be included, they seem to focus on this poor old 76yr old Yin Man on, who had worked and lived in a public toilet for 7 hkd an hour, I hope he is retired and happy now.

Hmm, Yes I think that is the way it reads at the moment, because it refers to domestic helpers and travel to work, well FDH don't have to travel because they live "on the Job' so to speak. But also the story in the newspaper seemed to focus more on shop workers, restaurant staff, and this elderly gent, I think we will only know who is included when the public announcement is made in August.

It is official, according to todays Thursday 16th JUly, SCMP, A3, Fdh's are not included. please read

if there will be a raise, it seems like they like to announce in it Aug just like when the levy was suspended. So wait and see.... I think there will be a slight raise, as the current salary is still quite far below the old days.
