關於DIRECT HIRE指定申請的資訊
女傭係香港已經有幾十年歷史,有好多工人做左幾年返老家後舊僱主想再請返,或者親朋戚友介紹自己工人嘅同鄉黎。甚或僱主係網上平台自己配對好後,想申請個工人來等等,我地都叫做「Direct Hire」。
「Direct Hire」我地行內又叫「指定申請」或者「name hire」。顧名思義是僱主已經有合適嘅女傭,辦手續申請來香港。 其好處係因為已經配對好,一般收費都會比較平,但係有幾點傭主需要注意。
- 女傭如從未來港一般都需要支付當地中介若干費用。(例如訓練費,住宿費等。)
- 現時只有菲律賓完約工人可以不需要中介處理。當中主要原因為領事館要求。因為香港的有牌僱傭中心要對領事館簽一份協議,如果女傭出現特別情況,僱傭中心需要提供協助。(例如被解僱後,需要提供宿舍。)
- 一般Direct Hire申請,女傭一到學校report ,或文件已交領事館,就立刻產生費用,所以女傭突然轉軚唔來,僱主可能會蒙受全面年損失。
- 女傭由於direct hire 只需要付少量費用就可以來港,有機會做幾個月當去完旅行就同你Say goodbye 。
所以搵一間有信用嘅僱傭中心係好緊要。我金寶Sir 深知傭主嘅考慮我地嘅Direct Hire 除左平絕全城,仲有女傭甩轆保險,女傭放飛機傭主都唔會total loss。
上回講到什麼是Direct Hire ,(直接聘請指定外傭 Direct Hire Domestic Helper),現在再深入講多少少。
最好選擇擁有俗稱「大牌」的僱傭中心,即係外僱原居地駐香港領事館所頒發的認證。事實上有好多所謂「艇仔公司」幫人攪Direct hire 手續,由於佢地沒有領事館牌照,所以一般好難掌握女傭係原居地嘅嘅申請狀況,也因為多了一重文件交收,申請時間一般較長。另外必須注意,其實領事館是禁止有牌公司幫「艇仔」公司做文件的。領事館一經發現,可能會「釘牌」。所以這「艇仔」公司能否持續經營都非常成疑。如果你選擇付錢給「艇仔」公司,而佢地對家有領事館牌的公司突然被釘牌,咁你個申請同俾左嘅錢就凍過水了。
金寶Sir:「嗱, Direct Hire 主要好處係減少不確定性,而 Direct Hire 嘅壞處就係增加不確定性。」
「吓!?」
金寶Sir:「唔好吓我住,聽我講埋先。」
一般工人重新返來跟舊僱主打工,僱主都會用直接聘請 Direct hire 的方式。如果有熟人介紹外傭,例如親友嘅女傭介紹她的女兒或者她的姊妹,都會用到直接聘請 Direct Hire的方式;甚至乎係你嘅社區、隔籬鄰舍如果你見到一啲女傭覺得好好,而咁啱佢跟僱主滿約或者斷約出來,你想請佢都可以用 Direct hire 方式。
以上係以前普遍會用到 Direct Hire 嘅情況。好處係你已經掌握左個女傭一些實際工作表現或者對佢嘅品行、品格已經有一定了解先請佢。相對地女傭嘅不確定性就可以大大咁降低。金寶Sir 亦覺得原本 Direct Hire 嘅用意應該係咁。
Direct Hire 因為已經配對好,所以價錢一般會比較便宜,呢個好處其實只不過係副產品。
而現今科技進步,好多網上平台應運而生,有部分僱主喜歡係網上自己搵女傭,呢一班僱主造就左近年一個新嘅 Direct hire生態。
但係好多時僱主和女傭都對 Direct Hire 嘅收費未有全面了解而出現問題。由於 Direct Hire 會涉及當地訓練學校,不過有部份女傭因為未能支付當地學校費用而放棄申請。但因為 Direct Hire 收費便宜,而往往一開始申請便產生費用,如果女傭因種種原因 no show 唔來,僱主一般都係 total loss。又有情況女傭到步後不久,便發現女傭問題多多要炒左佢。原因可能僱主未有足夠經驗去分辨女傭是好是壞,又或者網上搵工人未能夠全面掌握女傭實際情況。基於以上, Direct Hire 其實又會增加不確定性。
講到尾,如果你真係識個工人, Direct Hire 緊係有好處。但如果只係網上揾到覺得好似幾好,又a或者係隔離屋個工人個朋友等等,除左慳左幾千蚊,分分鐘費時失事。不過總有一班僱主覺得請人只係睇彩數,所以我金寶 Sir 為左回應呢一班傭主,我地金寶僱傭嘅 Direct hire 套餐特別設有「甩轆保障」和「走樣保障」。
