she will return home, get prior paperwork needed done..I will travel to marry her in Philippines, and then work on bringing her here to the states.

Sounds like a great plan, sorry they have absolutely no loyalty to her...sounds pretty selfish. But she will be needed back home. Keep us posted on your journey.

How many return tickets does she get for a 2 year contract and how long has she served of the ciurrent one?

sounds like her cheap employer's aren't going to provide anything, I couldn't see anywhere in the link he provided  that it was their responsibility to pay for return tickets.

There is NO more returning, she is going home permanently, until I send for her.

Does anybody have knowledge of of what goes into consideration for such payments? My fiance, a OFW from the Philippines has worked there for 14 years, and has honored six (6) 2 year contracts, and is breaking the 7th one to go home and care for her elderly mother. Its my understanding that if she breaks the contract, the employer is not required to pay her severance pay. Well, what about the other contracts she has fulfilled?

 

any help is greatly appreciated!

I've worked in Hong Kong for more than 11 years. I didn't finish my last contract too except that my employer was the one who terminated it due to him losing his job. If the OFW breaks the contract, then she won't get the so called "long service fee" unless the employer decides to still give it out of being grateful to your fiance for serving them that long.

Thanks for responding, isnt the "long term" service only considered with any contracts over 5 years in duration, not the 2 year contracts shes had in the past? Regardless, doesnt sound like shes "due" anything from this either..

 

Grateful doesnt sound like anything possible with her employer.. fingers crossed here.

She is eligible for long service if she worked with the same employer for 5 consecutive years or more .This would mean she renewed contract with the same employer twice. However, since she's the one leaving, her employer is not oblige to pay. Some employers or rather few of them are still willing to give the long service fee.

Thanks for clarifying, I highly doubt her employer would.. just my low opinion of them.

Good to hear, you come across cases where flight have been paid for and there is a claw back clause, worst cases seem to be in the Middle East where the confiscate your Passport.

Depends who they work for. Our PI nanny got ticket back for AL, normal pay and work hours, and we never kept her passport or ID card (actually jumped through all the local government hoops to properly register her after the local family who she was working for let all papers lapse), provided severance pay and arranged work with the next family even before we left.
