A Filipino domestic worker in Hong Kong has not received any compensation from her employer after being waylaid by a dislocated shoulder, while her boss claims the family is moving.
On December 28, Samantha, 28, injured her shoulder while trying to grab a towel after bathing, sunwebhk.com reported. On January 5, she had surgery for the injury at Princess Margaret Hospital in Kwai Chung. After the operation, her employer asked her friends to get Samantha’s things out of the apartment as his family was moving, apparently out of Hong Kong.
The employer also said he would refer Samantha to a Canadian friend if she still wanted to work in Hong Kong.
Samantha was advised by the Philippine Overseas Labor Office to seek help from the Hong Kong Labor Department if she wanted compensation for her injury. She was also told that her contract could not be terminated while she was on sick leave.
In Hong Kong, employers are liable to pay compensation for injuries that are sustained by their employees in the course of employment.
GOT INJURED(I MEAN)……
Wow ha what kind of employers are they? Really they don’t have a heart!
It’s v easy for labor officers to call ur employer. If u go to labor dept.they will let u write down ur employer’s name and phone no..they will call asap.i had an experience bfore.my boss waa reluctant to pay then d labor dept.called her and she sertled wd me..

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CLAIM FOR YOUR COMPENSATION FROM THAT STUPID EMPLOYER YOU HAVE,REPORT AND EXPLAIN TO THE HONGKONG LABOR DEPARTMENT REGARDING YOUR PROBLEM.BY THE TIME YOU WERE HOT INJURED,YOU ARE INSIDE OF THEIR PREMISES AND WORKING WITH THEM. FIGHT FOR UR RIGHT KABAYAN!
Better go to labour inquires kung may laban ka sa ngyari sayo para mabigyan ng lessons yong ganon amo
Better go directly to hongkong labour and tell everything…they will help you and assist …
Fight for your right, go for the compensation you deserve it! Nangyari din sa akin yan nahulog ako sa upuan naputol ang smallest metatarsal bone ko sa left side. Nakasemento paa ko for 6 weeks. Ayon awa naman ni Lord nakaraos at nakatanggap ako ng compensation pero may procedure yan at dapat ireport sa labor department. Sila na ang magkukuwenta kung magkano matatanggap mo. Wait mo lang ang letter from labor then sunod sunod na yon kung ano ang gagawin mo.
Ang alam ko din po , di sya pwede iterminate , kc kong itetminate sya ng employer kelangan byran ng employer ung shod nya s buong kontrata
Too expensive, i think.????
Grabe nga amo crazy siya eh mgbabayad cya.
