Employment (Amendment) Ordinance 2007
The Hong Kong Employment (Amendment) Ordinance 2007 (EAO) modifies the mode of calculating certain statutory entitlements under the Employment Ordinance, including mainly:
In order for Hong Kong companies to be compliant, the relevant statutory entitlement must be calculated on the basis of the average daily or monthly wages earned by an employee in the 12-month period and ALL wage components as defined under the Employment Ordinance must be included in the calculation.
Since the introduction of the EAO requirement, many employers have been locked in the legal battle over the accurate calculation of statutory holiday pay and annual leave pay as the companies fail to comply with the strict requirements of the ordinance.
