Gov’t to relax the 'continuous contract' labour requirement
Workers under such a contract must only work 68 hours in 4 weeks.
The government will relax the “continuous contract” requirement to enhance the protection of the rights and benefits of employees with shorter working hours.
Under the existing requirement, full-time or part-time employees employed by the same employer for four weeks or more and having worked 18 hours or more per week are regarded as being engaged under a “continuous contract”.
With the relaxed requirement, employers must use the aggregate hours worked over four weeks as a counting unit and set the four-week threshold at 68 hours worked.
