employment

If you employ or want to employ people in the Mainland, you need to know the practicalities – what to pay them, how to recruit, motivate and especially how to retain them.  The session will include sharing the latest salary and benefit trends and address how much employees are being paid and how they are feeling about it.

In the absence of any 'unfair dismissal' regime in Hong Kong, the termination of an employment contract is generally considered to be fairly straightforward.  However, the Employment Ordinance does provide remedies to employees on termination in certain circumstances.  Getting it wrong can be both expensive and time-consuming.

This event has been postponed to 6 July with a revised topic.  The topic will be 'Using mediation to resolve employment disputes.'

What are the issues and risks for employers dealing with termination of employees? Emily Duncan, a Consultant with Gall & Lane having extensive experience dealing with employment disputes and commercial litigation, will offer her advice.
