Employment Protection

Under the legal system in Hong Kong, there is much employment protection for employees. To safeguard your own rights and prevent any loss, you should familiarise yourself with the basic legal protection.


<Employment Ordinance>


<Employees Compensation Ordinance>


<Disability Discrimination Ordinance>


<Sex Discrimination Ordinance>


<Family Status Discrimination Ordinance>


<Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance>


In Hong Kong, there are also legislations on industrial safety and health. The law requires that it is the responsibility of the employer to provide a safe and healthy environment to employees. However, employees themselves must also pay special attention to their own safety. Don’t disregard your safety to exchange for convenience and speed.
