Remarks
Appendix IV (cont'd)
To hold medical examinations for all young persons under 18 before being admitted for industrial employment is considered impracticable and unnecessary
Wage records are being kept by employers in a variety of forms which meet their own requirements. There is no statutory requirement to keep such records in a prescribed manner, and a standardised format is not considered necessary at present.
The existence of a wage ceiling for non-manual workers renders compliance impossible. Serious diffialties are also expected in the movie industry as regards the length of contracts of employment as well as the safeguard in the freedom of choice in employment.
Linked with policy on trade union amalgamation and affiliation with organisations established outside Hong Kong. In local circumstances such restrictions are considered
necessary.
Complete prohibition of night work would jeopardise industries on shift work.
