Well, not really sure why I post in this forum about this, but maybe some of you may be able to answer.
I have a "part time" maid (meaning she was fully employed during the week and came to clean my house the week end for extra cash) but she called me this morning saying that her employer terminated her contract just today (without notice) and asked if she could put her bags at my house and she'll sleep at her friends place.
Of course I accepted as it doesn't do me any harm.
But now she's asking me if I can "sponsor" her, meaning sign her a contract so she can stay in HK (otherwise she has to leave HK within 14 days). Told her I don't need a fulltime maid but she told me that I wouldn't have to pay her full time, just our usual part time rate.
As I never had a full time maid, not really sure of the implications for me. I'm ok to help someone but I don't wanna be hold as responsible for this person (meaning what happens if she has an accident or anything).
Does someone have any advice on this? What are the risks for me?
Thanks for your help!
(and before anyone asks, no she's not a hot maid that can be found a sunday afternoon in Wan Chai
)
