The Employment Ordinance (EO) applies to employees of
owners' corporations or Mutual Aid Committees (whether
their employment contracts are made orally or in writing).
All employees covered by the Employment Ordinance, irrespective
of their hours of work, are entitled to basic protection
under the Ordinance including payment of wages, restrictions
on wages deductions and the granting of statutory holidays,
etc.
Employees who are employed under a continuous contract
are further entitled to such benefits as rest days, paid
annual leave, sickness allowance, severance payment and
long service payment, etc.
For details on the EO, please refer to the booklet "A
Concise Guide to the Employment Ordinance" published
by the Labour Department or call 2717 1771 for enquiries
