Hong Kong has seen many changes to Employment Law over the past few years: the passing of the Race Discrimination Ordinance in 2009, the Employment (Amendment) Ordinance in 2010, and significant increases in case law. Employment Law is now one of the leading practice areas in law firms, with the new Minimum Wage Bill anticipated to significantly impact business of every kind in the near future.
