Employers in Hong Kong are required to take out insurance for their foreign domestic helper. This helps cover medical and other costs if the helper is injured or falls ill during the contract.
What is required
Under the Standard Employment Contract, you must provide medical insurance for your helper. The policy should meet the minimum requirements set by the Hong Kong government. This typically includes hospitalisation and medical expenses up to a specified amount.
Why it matters
Having the right insurance protects both you and your helper. It ensures that if she needs medical care, the costs are covered and the contract can continue smoothly. We can point you to suitable insurance products and explain what you need to comply with the law.
