Illegal deployment of FDH

Does anyone know of a case when an employer/helper has actually been caught? Half the shops where I live are staffed by Indonesian 'helpers', and there are plenty of p-t cleaners working on DH contracts.

But how was she (and/or you) caught? I see this happening so often that I don't know how helpers can be so happy to do it (money or not, jail is jail).

There is a hotline where you can call and make an anonymous report. Neighbors can rat you out easily.

The Govt pays $100 for reporting illegal part tim workers. It has been known for building security personnel to report the illegal worker.

I have a friend who was fined after ringing one off the domestic helper part time ads off the welcome boards.

The immigration department had put it there to catch people that planned to hire part time helpers.

I was so shocked but it did happen and it was a hefty fine at that!

the helpers has no choice,they cant say no to emplyers

if they did they have to look for a new contract

its not easy to find a new contract for helpers

but its very easy to find new helper for employer

Jessica L - I can't believe they can get away with that...that's entrapment!

Never heard of that happening, but it wouldn't be wise to assume that HK laws has the same definition of entrapment as in other countries.

for DH working for shops that could be too risky but for DH working for PT havent heard about being caught.I think ID really didnt take it as serious offence,no one really cares.Look around Discovery Bay as many helpers working based on PT for so many years havent heard anyone of them being caught by IDs.

But surely the police should have better things to do with their time than harass the very people that keep HK running smoothly? And let's not forget that this 'law abiding host community' has a bit of a reputation for blatantly breaking the labour laws w/ regard to minimum pay, public holidays etc.
