You cannot fire her now. You have to keep her anyway.
who pay for the 家計會? it is around $ 2500. If this is her wish t 唔想要. ask the agent to "help" her directly, you don't get in between. Be careful of what you say, they make record of what you say

If I cannot fire her anyway, should I tell the agent to pick her back to the boarding house first and do whatever they need to do. And let her come back afterward?
Is it the best way to protect myself? If the thing is done and she can do her job, then I just let her stay. Otherwise, I will fire her later?
You'd better check with the labour department first and ask for their advice. If she's pregnant before report duty, I think you don't need to pay her the maternity leave.
I still don't understand why our HK government is giving so much benefits to the helpers.
Just to share, I lived in Singapore before, Singaporean don't have to give holidays, it is optional.
If the helpers get pregnant, they have to leave Singapore immediately.
They do not have statutory holidays in Singapore.
I still don't understand what is HK government doing! In Singapore, even helpers want more holidays, they never have guts to protest, because SG government is very strict. If you don't like it, please leave SG. So helpers are very low profile.
A friend of my relative hired a helper and found that she's pregnant many years ago. She ran a business and let the helper stayed in the shop everyday but doing nothing. What she told the helper was she's worried about her safety if she stayed at home alone because she's pregnant. The helper resigned later because it's too boring to sit in a shop for whole day.
If you have someone (adult) stay at home then you can ask her to stay in her room or kitchen and not doing anything. Tell her no mobilephone is allowed, it's your house rule. provide basic food to her. Don't be upset and keep chatting and laughing with your family. See how long she can stay with you.
