Following the fourth edition in 2011, this latest edition brings readers up-to-date with the legislative changes and new case law. In addition to the legal commentary it also includes: • Short "key practical takeaways" at the beginning of each chapter; • New chapters on Change of Ownership and Employee Incentive Schemes; • An analysis of the relevant impact of new legislation including the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance, the Competition Ordinance and the amendments to the Sex Discrimination Ordinance and Employment Ordinance; and • A review of critical case law developments including: º the implied duty of trust and confidence and how it relates to taking decisions to terminate; º whether or not a discretionary bonus is payable; and º the extension of Hong Kong law to individuals subject to non-Hong Kong contracts. Readers will find Hong Kong Employment Law easy to read and it will assist in-house lawyers, human resources professionals and those making business decisions in getting to grips with employment issues in Hong Kong.
