Butterworths Hong Kong Employment Law Handbook, 4th Edition

Butterworths Hong Kong Employment Law Handbook (4th Edition) is a detailed work of reference containing up-to-date materials on the Employment Ordinance (Cap 57) and the Labour Tribunal Ordinance (Cap 25), the major legislation pertaining to employment law and practice in Hong Kong.

This Handbook reproduces the text of the Employment Ordinance (Cap 57) and the Labour Tribunal Ordinance (Cap 25) together with all subsidiary legislation of the Ordinances currently in force.

This Handbook also provides section-by-section annotations to the Ordinances. These annotations are succinct and easy to read. They encompass significant judicial decisions and rules of court, as well as notes ranging from definitions of words and phrases to discussion on practical aspects and contentious issues relating to particular sections and other authoritative materials. Furthermore, the annotations are fully cross-referenced, with comprehensive tables of cases, legislation and other sources referred to.

The annotations to the Employment Ordinance are written by Michael Downey, chair of the Hong Kong and China Employment Law Practice Group of the law firm of Paul Hastings Janofsky and Walker LLP.

This series has been cited, with authority, in over one hundred court cases in the Hong Kong Court of First Instance, Court of Appeal, and Court of Final Appeal. This Handbook will prove to be an indispensable companion for practitioners, employers, human resources managers, employees, and all others who are engaged or interested in the dynamic and ever-topical employment law and practice in Hong Kong.
