Resignation Info

Mate, I asked for that too! I said in regards to the current economic climate that I would be doing you guys a favour......"We have no plans to cut back....."
3 weeks later the voluntary leave comes out!
I could have saved 4 guys from voluteering for the leave without pay scam.

Simple
...why not ask the company if THEY give salary AND housing when they make people redundant???
I bet you 3 months pay that there are 49 guys who DIDN'T get salary and housing when they got the chop!!

I've been doing a bit of research into the issue......
It's CX and the HK labour laws at their absurd best
Accord to the Hong Kong labour laws, "WAGES" constitutes payment for "Work done or to be done" by an employee. "I've got them....I thought!!"
Clause 1 of this definition specifically states: ALLOWANCES FOR ACCOMMODATION ARE NOT TO BE CLASSED AS WAGES.
BUT, as usual, CX is in bed with the HK laws so they somehow get out of paying taxes etc......which is why CX now pays it's employees the accommodation allowance as CASH.
According to the HK Labour Department, this CASH PAYMENT direct to the employee bypasses the definition of an ACCOMMODATION ALLOWNACE as it starts life as a simple cash payment on paper which now reclassifies it as WAGES. How freaking dumb is that when it SPECIFICALLY states HOUSING PAYMENT on my monthly salary and is in and out of my hands in the click of a button.
If CX was to pay my landlord directly then this would be a different issue, but because the ACCOMMODATION ALLOWANCE changes hands a few times before it gets to my landlord, it somehow becomes my WAGES. TOOLS.

BlunderBus,
I might like to claim that 3 months thanks. I'm pretty sure that the owner-occupier 49ers with a mortgage were paid housing & salary for 3 months. I'm not sure what the renters got.
Either way, the sacking of the 49er was an abomination, for which there is no excuse, and I personally hope that anyone responsible burns in Hell.
