Every HR policy is a potential legal landmine. This practical seminar dissects 10 pivotal Hong
Kong court cases that expose common yet costly policy pitfalls. We will navigate
the treacherous landscapes of “4-68” provision for part-time staff, discretionary bonuses,
MPF offsetting abolition, and by drawing lessons from real-world legal battles, you will learn
to draft bulletproof policies that mitigate risk, prevent disputes, and transform your HR
framework from a potential liability into a powerful legal defence for your organisation.

Course Outline

  • The “4-68” Provision: Navigating the New Frontier of Part-Time Employment
  • Unilateral Contract Changes: The High Risk of Constructive Dismissal
  • Vicarious Liability: Is Your DEI Policy a Real Legal Shield?
  • Employee Mental Health: The Expanding “Duty of Care”
  • Discretionary vs. Contractual Bonuses: The Million-Dollar Wording Mistake
  • Managing Illness: Sick Leave Abuse vs. Disability Discrimination
  • Employee Compensation Policy: Is stress and mental heath issue
    a basis for ECC claim?
  • Protecting Your Business from Departing Staff
  • Social Media Misconduct: Policing Private Accounts and Public Posts
  • Over-time Work, Rest Days and Holidays: When holidays are not holidays
