The government has considered Hong Kong’s overall economic and labor market conditions in the past year, as well as short-term economic prospects, including the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, etc., and decided that the “Required Minimum Wage” and the level of meal allowances for foreign domestic helpers will be maintained constant.

The government announced yesterday that the “Required Minimum Wage” for #本港外助 will be maintained at 4,630 yuan per month, and the meal allowance will be maintained at not less than 1,121 yuan per month.

According to the #standard employment contract for hiring foreign domestic helpers, employers must provide free meals for foreign domestic helpers. At present, most employers provide free meals to foreign domestic helpers, but employers can also choose to substitute meal allowances.
