Hi,

Anyone know what is the average rate that an Indonesian maid gets paid in HK? Is there a legal minimum amount?

Thanks

The minimum wage for all Domestic Helpers in HK is $3270. However, have heard that some Indonesian helpers are paid below min wage and this is against the law.

Actually most Indonesians workers take home less than the legal minimum, thanks to the nexus that involves the Indonesian Embassy, Immigration Department and the agencies.

However, I would not recommend you even attempt paying less than the minimum. You're opening yourself to some serious blackmail from people you really don't want to piss off.
