We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF)

We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Labor Law coverage
We ensure full compliance with Hong Kong’s Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57), covering employment contracts, termination rules, wages, leave, and anti-discrimination provisions.
Audit-ready documentation
We maintain employee records, payroll filings, MPF statements, and leave logs, ensuring readiness for audits or labor inspections.
Worker classification & penalties
Accurate classification avoids financial and legal risks. We ensure your workers are correctly employed as per local laws.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Employees are entitled to a minimum of 7 days of paid annual leave after one year of employment, increasing progressively to 14 days based on tenure.
Sick leave
Employees accrue 2 paid sickness days per month during the first 12 months and 4 days per month thereafter, up to a maximum of 120 days;; payments are handled by employer or insurance as appropriate.
Maternity leave
New mothers are entitled to 14 weeks of paid maternity leave at 80% of average daily wages, with the employer eligible for government reimbursement for weeks 11 to 14 (capped at HK$80,000). Fathers are entitled to 5 days of paid paternity leave at 80% of average daily wages, subject to a continuous service requirement of at least 40 weeks.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. Let us help you handle it better!
Notice period
During the first month of probation in Hong Kong, no notice or payment in lieu is required unless the employment contract specifies otherwise. After the first month, the statutory minimum notice is 7 days or salary in lieu, unless the contract provides for a longer period. Post-probation, the default statutory minimum is one month’s notice or salary in lieu, subject to the terms of the employment contract, but in no case can the notice be less than 7 days.
Severance pay/ Long Service Payment
In Hong Kong, employees may be entitled to either a Severance Payment (SP) or a Long Service Payment (LSP), but not both. SP applies to those with 24+ months of service dismissed due to redundancy, while LSP applies to those with 5+ years of service dismissed for other reasons or resigning due to incapacity or age 65+. Both are calculated as two-thirds of last month’s wages × years of service, with respective caps.
