The Labour Advisory Board (LAB), at a meeting on 1st February, continued the discussion on the review of the "continuous contract" requirement (commonly referred to as the "418" requirement) under the Employment Ordinance. The employer members and employee members candidly expressed their views and, after thorough and in-depth deliberations, the LAB reached a consensus that such a requirement will be relaxed by using the aggregate working hours of four weeks as a counting unit and setting the four-week working hour threshold at 68 hours. The above review is one of the labour support initiatives announced in "The Chief Executive’s 2023 Policy Address".
