Employment law is one of the few areas of law which impacts almost everyone, from large multinational corporations to small family businesses, to individual employees.  

 

The Hong Kong employment law regime is comprehensive but understanding the various complex pieces of legislation, regulation and case law is no easy task for businesses or individuals. This practical guide serves as an encyclopaedia aimed to help both employers and employees understand their statutory rights, entitlements and obligations as well as the legal and practical issues of the Employment Ordinance (Cap.57).

 

The latest edition covers various legislative developments and new case law since the last edition published in 2017 and will serve as a helpful manual steering the readers through the full cycle of an employment relationship, from beginning to end, using a combination of case studies and practical advice. 

 

The Hong Kong labour market is highly competitive and constantly evolving with an ever-growing demand for talent.  It is paramount for businesses to work within the framework as breaches of employment legislation can have serious consequences including civil liability and/or criminal prosecution for companies and/or their directors and officers.
