ANSWER
The Hong Kong Government announced on 16 April revised conditions
of employment for foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong, covering
conditions of stay, wage levels, and new arrangements for changes
of employment and renewal of contract.
These revisions followed
a Government review of the employment of foreign domestic helpers
in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Government also reminded all foreign
domestic helpers to observe conditions of stay by not taking on
additional work and reminded employers to take out accident
insurance for all foreign domestic helpers in their employ.
