Straight answers about hiring, renewing and living with a domestic helper in Hong Kong.

In short: These guides answer the questions employers ask us most about hiring a domestic helper in Hong Kong: what a first hire involves, which paperwork holds a file up, how contract renewal works, and what happens after a placement. They are general information rather than legal advice.

How these guides are written

Every guide is written by a licensed specialist who handles these cases, reviewed against the current Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and Immigration Department process, and dated so you can judge how fresh it is. Where a figure changes, such as wages, allowances or processing times, we say where to verify it rather than quoting a number that will quietly go stale. Client to supply: an author name on each guide, so the promise above can be checked

Note: Guides are general information, not legal advice. For your specific case, book a consultation.
