Hope the guys/gal sacked last thursday are aware of Severance Payment. If not, click on the link below to the Hong Kong Labour Department:
Labour Department - Publications
Chapter 8- Termination of Contract of Employment
Chapter 10- Severance Payment and Long Service Payment
After sifting through the convoluted write up, my understanding is that in addition to payment in lieu of notice (ie, the measly 1 month payout), if an employee is dismissed by reason of redundancy then you are entitled to Severance Pay. The employee needs to serve a written notice to the employer requesting Severance Payment within 3 months of the dismissal. It goes on to show how to calculate the amount due to you.
Best of luck to all 10 of you..... and unfortunately, best of luck to the 15 unnecessarily listed above.
Make those M*&%ther F*!kers pay! This sort of genocide shouldn't be allowed to occur in this day and age.
