290 LABOUR PROBLEMS SETTLED IN MAY
The Labour Relations Service of the Labour Department last
month helped settle 290 disputes.
Disclosing this today, the head of the service, Mr. T.F. Tsui,
said that as a result of agreements reached, 681 employees had received
a total of $291,255.
Of this total, just over 83 per cent was paid by employers as
outstanding wages, payment in lieu of notice, statutory holiday pay
and bonuses.
The remaining 16.9 per cent or $49,306 was paid, apart from
legal entitlements, as severance pay and other ex-gratia payments to
employees.
Kr. Tsui said:
"Officers of the Labour Relations Service
also handled 1,492 consultations and enquiries about labour laws,
industrial relations and personnel management.
"They visited 22 establishments to help employers introduce
joint consultative machinery to strengthen communication between
labour and management," he said.
