Employers should observe "work on rest day" regulation
Employers should notify the Labour Department if they want to engage women or young persons to work on their rest day in industrial undertakings.
"The employer must submit applications for change of rest day to the Labour Department at least 48 hours in advance or else he will breach the Women and Young Persons (Industry) Regulations," Labour Officer (Prosecutions), Miss Rita Ma, said today (Sunday).
Jean Machine Limited in Tsuen Wan was recently fined $10,000 at Tsuen Wan Magistracy for engaging 21 woman workers to work on their rest day without notifying the Labour Department. The company was also ordered to pay $4,000 cost.
Miss Ma said any employer who failed to comply with the Regulations was liable to a maximum fine of $10,000.
