JULIA'S former employers are contesting her claim for termination pay. They say she walked out without giving notice.
At 2 am on April 22, the 37-year-old maid did leave her employer's Pokfulam home with no intention of returning because of crippling injuries they had inflicted hours earlier.
Julia (not her real name) reported the abuse to the police and is fighting for her termination pay through the Labour Tribunal.
She moved in with the couple and three-month-old boy 14 months ago.
'After a few months their real character came out,' Julia said.
Last Christmas Eve, the husband asked her to clean a window grille which she had already done. After she cleaned it again, he was still unhappy and banged it down on her head. She was knocked down with blood pouring from her forehead.
