I posted a portion of this on geoexpat.com:
I hired a driver just to drive my kids to their schools and therapies. He started in August at HKD 12K, I have to sub him lunch at HKD 50 per day, OT is HKD 80.00 per hour and he also gets MPF Benefits which is 5% of salary. He works Monday to Saturday from 7am to 6pm with 1 hr for lunch break. In additional, he gets a double pay at the end of year, prorated since he started in August.
Language wise he speaks in Cantonese only. And I know Cantonese but not my husband nor my kids. If you need someone who speaks in English it is more. Probably at the HKD 15K to 18K range. And the driver I hired has 20 years experience in driving a mini van. We recently purchased a Velfire. And he can park in ridiculously small space without breaking a sweat!
He knows Hong Kong inside and out and where to take short cuts or detour if there is traffic ahead. And he listens to the traffic reports on radio. If he doesn't know the area, he can easily find out from friends how to get to the destination in a jiffy. I am learning the names of the road in Cantonese from him.
