Benefits Guide
Employing in Hong Kong
Since its enactment in 1968, the Employment Ordinance has served as the comprehensive body of statutes guiding employment relationships in Hong Kong, covering everything from wage protections to union privileges.
Common questions during the hiring process may be regarding minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off. Remote can help you offer a complete, competitive, and compliant benefits package to your employees in Hong Kong.

We can help you get a new employee started in Hong Kong fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 5 working days.
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Hong Kong, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Hong Kong may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
