| News - South China Morning Post | HONG KONG EMPLOYER GROUPS CALL FOR HELPER WAGE FREEZE, WARN OF MASS SACKINGS | 1 hr ago |
WHAT HAPPENED
A coalition of Hong Kong employers urged the government to freeze the wages of foreign domestic workers for 2024, warning that any pay increases could trigger mass layoffs, according to the News - South China Morning Post.
The call, issued by the International Domestic Service Industry Development Federation and the Quadripartite Alliance for Harmonious Employment Practices, involves about 30 employer groups. They also propose a pay‑for‑performance scheme that would allow employers to reward high‑performing helpers more than poor performers, the report added.
The request reflects concerns over labour market stability amid rising living costs and a growing number of domestic helpers in Hong Kong.
