Safeguard employment priority for local workers

​

The Fruits of Our Efforts

  • Revise the "Continuous Contract" requirement under the Employment Ordinance to enhance employee protections.

  • Implement an annual review mechanism for the statutory minimum wage.

  • Tighten the manning ratio for imported workers and change the current calculation basis of applying the ratio to each post under application.

  • Conduct an update of manpower projections to analyse the importation of workers, dynamically adjusting quotas based on employment data to safeguard local employment.

  • Introduce enhanced measures to safeguard employment priority for local workers - requiring catering industry applying for importation of labour (for junior chefs and wait staff) to conduct on-site recruitment at the Labour Department's job centres.

  • Conduct inspections to monitor the ratio of imported workers to local workers in enterprises participating in the Supplementary Labour Scheme.

  • Enhance law enforcement and social media monitoring to precisely target illegal workers.

  • Improve the work injury compensation mechanism for digital platform workers.

  • Develop a GBA standard for construction industry talent training, and extend "One Examination, Multiple Certification" to more trades and sectors to enhance the competitiveness of the GBA.
