Between 2020 and 2024, an average of 12 migrant domestic workers and 15 employers were fined each year for moonlighting-related offences. The Household Services Scheme (HSS) allows companies to hire migrant workers to provide part-time domestic services. Since it became a permanent scheme in 2021, the number of HSS companies has increased from around 80 to 240. Based on surveys, the number of households served by HSS companies has also increased steadily. Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Manpower Shawn Huang gave this update in reply to an MP’s question in parliament on Friday (Sep 26).
