[Statutory Holidays] Foreign Domestic Helpers’ Holidays in 2026

There are over 370,000 foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong, and they play an important role in taking care of families and doing household chores. As an employer, knowing their holiday rights is not just a legal duty – it also helps build a better working relationship. Starting from 2026, the number of statutory holidays will increase from 14 to 15 days. Employers must follow the law and give their helpers these holidays to avoid misunderstandings or breaking the law.
