Employers warned against sacking injured employees

Employers are reminded today (Sunday) not to dismiss any employee who is entitled to compensation under the Employees' Compensation Ordinance (ECO) under certain conditions.

These conditions, whichever occurs first, are: the employer has note entered into an agreement with the injured employee under the ordinance to settle the claim directly; or the Labour Department has not certified the amount of compensation payable or the Assessment Board has certified the percentage of the loss of earning capacity suffered by the injured employee.

Recently, the owner of Wong Chiu Kee Timber in Tai Po was fined $10,000 at Sha Tin Magistracy for dismissing an employee wounded at work before an Ordinary Assessment Board had issued a Certificate of Assessment (Form 7).

"Under the ECO, an injured employee who is likely to suffer from permanent incapacity would be assessed by an Ordinary Assessment Board on his loss of earning capacity permanently caused by the injury.

"A Certificate of Assessment will be issued by the board after the assessment," Labour Officer (Prosecutions), Mrs Tonia Leung, explained.
