Cautions for delivering red pockets for maids

Cautions for delivering red pockets for maids

Due to the influence of the epidemic, the citizens of Hong Kong have been living a hard life in the past few years. In addition, due to the arrangement of epidemic prevention measures, many gatherings have been affected, including:

 

  • Worrying about the epidemic, during the New Year's greetings, the frequency of going to relatives' houses and enterprises to pay New Year's greetings is reduced.

 

  • In previous years, most people would go to the house or go out to eat with their family during the New Year dinner. However, under the influence of the epidemic, many families stopped eating the New Year dinner with their relatives.

 

  • In the past, the New Year's distribution or door-to-door teasing was one of the most exciting links, focusing on "Reunion" and other good luck. However, under the influence of the epidemic, many people will receive profits through the Payme electronic platform. Although this is convenient,  the meaning of Chinese New Year was decreased.

 

In fact, apart from the left Hong Kong people, Filipino maids and Indonesian maids are affected by the epidemic, and their lives are not easy.

Sunlight Employment Agency recommends employers to help maids through the New Year period. In addition to being a kind of heart, they can also motivate maids to work morale.

 

 

What to say when delivering red pocket?

This is actually an opportunity to communicate with the foreign domestic helper, and thus to close the employment relationship. It's not appropriate to send red pocket directly to them! You could say:

 

  • During the epidemic, you have been doing well! 

 

  • Thank you for your willingness to cooperate with us, so that my entire family can fight the epidemic with peace of mind.

 

  • The current economic environment is not good, and your hometown will undoubtedly be negatively affected. I hope the following red pocket will give you some supports for you and your family to overcome the difficulties! 

 

  • Thank you for staying with me as a helper! 

 

 

What NOT to say when delivering red pocket?

Sunlight Employment Agency has received countless and complaints because of red pocket delivery. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, We recommend the following tips for employers:

 

  1. The amount should be clear: In fact, how much pocket money was sent did not have a standard. Even if you sent $50 or $100, maid will be very pleasant too. Also, they will send most of the money that is profitable to their hometown. However, new employers should be careful once they pay $500 or $1,000 as pocket money, because if the foreign domestic helper's performance is poor next year, it will be more difficult for the employer to adjust the amount.


  2. The location of saving red pockets: Many employers prepare a stack of red pockets, so that they can be sent to colleagues or children in the company. However, money is always property, and employers must properly monitor these red pcokets to avoid unnecessary disputes that affect the employee-employer relationship.


  3. Red pocket is not necessary: We understand that under the influence of the epidemic, not only the income of many employers will be affected. We also have some tips to help employers, like buying shirts for maids. When the maid wears the shirt given by her employer and goes out to meet her friends, her friends will understand her situation. 

 

 

Finally, we wishes all employers have a good health and wealth in the Year of the Tiger in 2022!
