The relationship between an employer and a Filipina domestic helper in Hong Kong is bound by a contract. There are certain rules that you will have to comply with to keep your job. To be able to avoid this experience, here are 7 termination reasons that you should be aware of:
If you guaranteed a friend on a debt that she wasn’t able to pay, the collector will keep on bothering you. He will even call your employer’s home phone too often. When your employer gets annoyed by what’s going on, he might be forced to fire you out. Therefore, as much as you can, avoid signing up as a guarantor to anyone’s debt in Hong Kong.
Only a few may know but jealousy can be a cause of termination. If your employer’s wife starts becoming jealous of you, you can be terminated. This would likely happen to avoid complicating matters between you and your employer’s family.
Sometimes, a family has a member who can only speak Cantonese. If communication would be a problem and the two of you would not be able to relate to each other, it could risk your job. Some employers prefer housemaids who can speak even a bit of their language.
Another problem that can lead to your termination is having an employer who will expect too much from you. He will terminate you if you will fall short of his expectations. For this reason, know what a potential employer expects from you before signing up a contract with him.
Try your best as well not to disobey your employer. Disobedience is a very good reason to get you terminated. Being disobedient is an attitude problem that no employer would want to see in a housemaid.
Stealing is not just a bad attitude. It is a crime as well. If you will be caught in this doing, your termination will come in a flash and you might have no choice but to serve a sentence in jail. There may be temptations in your employer’s house but keep in mind that your job and your dignity as a Filipina are more important than obtaining those items through theft.
There are some cases where in your termination is not your fault. Sometimes, the problem is in your employer’s financial status. Cases such as bankruptcy, loss of job and others will leave him no choice but do some cost cutting strategies, which may include living without a maid. He may come to a decision of terminating your service, not because you did not work well but because he will not be able to pay your salary anymore.
