FAQ
▸How long is a Hong Kong helper contract?
The Standard Employment Contract (ID 407) runs two years from the date the helper commences work in Hong Kong. Enter the start date and the planner computes the expiry and every renewal-window date.
▸When should I start the renewal process?
Applications take weeks to process, so the planner flags a renewal-decision window through the final 60 days of the contract plus visa/passport check windows with lead times built in.
▸When is the home-leave flight due?
On contract expiry the employer pays the helper's passage home — the planner aligns the home-leave flight milestone with the contract end date and the home-leave entitlement.
