Labour Issues

The Standard Working Hours Committee’s (SWHC) second-stage consultation on standard working hours has just concluded, and the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce supports, in principle, the “big frame” approach.

(Chinese only) 強制性公積金（強積金）成立目的，是要設立良好的退休儲蓄制度，僱主僱員同樣有供款責任。不過，近期再有要求，取消強積金僱主供款對沖遣散費或長期服務金，無疑要僱主承受雙重負擔，對僱主不公平，亦令中小企百上加斤。

香港總商會支持成立強積金，過去只有約三分之一的工作人口享有退休保障，自強積金制度推行後，現時約有85%的總就業人口獲強積金計劃或公積金計劃等退休保障。
