Your work in Hong Kong as a Filipina domestic helper starts after signing up a contract with your employer. By affixing your signature on that agreement, you will be expected to comply with the rules. Keep whatever the contract binds you to do in order to keep your job and avoid getting terminated. Termination of your job in Hong Kong may be caused by one of 7 reasons which are listed below:

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.

Jealousy can also lead to serious troubles. When the wife of your boss becomes jealous of you, you can be terminated. Cases such as this one can end your job. Some families would choose to have a housemaid as a casualty than making their relationships suffer just because of someone’s jealous feelings.

Being able to communicate well can also be a reason for terminating a Filipina housemaid in Hong Kong. Sometimes, there will be elders in the house who can only speak Cantonese. If you do not know how to relate to that person, that may lead to employment problems.

Some employers expects too much from a domestic helper. Not meeting these expectations can drive him to oust you from your position. Because of this, you should first assess the personality of your potential employer before you decide if you want to work for such person or not.

Employers have the right to terminate the service of a disobedient maid. Therefore, make sure that you are obedient to them. Aside from being hard working and skilled, the attitude is also an important factor that employers look for in a domestic helper.

Theft can make you lose your job in a flash. If you will be found guilty of stealing from your employer, aside from termination, you might also be imprisoned.

Another thing that can lead to your termination is the financial condition of your employer. You may be the best Filipina maid around, but if your employer’s business or career got downsized, and she will soon realize that she cannot continue to pay for your service, she may just decide to let go of you.
