employment are not actually employed therein. Similar provisions concerning the employment of women and young persons in industry already exist in regulation 3(2) of the Factories and Industrial Under- takings Regulations.
Date of Commencement
14
The Commissioner for Labour proposes to allow a period of 3 months before bringing all the new legislation into force so as to give sufficient notice to employers and operators of employment agencies to make any operational adjustments which may be necessary to enable them to comply with the changes in the law.
Consultation
15
The Labour Advisory Board has been consulted on various occasions with regard to all the proposals set out in the draft legislation. Both employers' and employees' representatives have readily supported them.
Enforcement and Financial and Staffing Implications
16
Inspectorate staff already exists for the enforcement of legislation pertaining to the employment of women and young persons in industry. As the present legislative exercise involves largely the transfer of existing provisions from one ordinance to another, no additional staff or adminis- trative costs are involved.
Public relations aspects
17
No new principles or significant changes are involved in the new legislation, other than the slight revision of the permissible period of employment for young persons in industry which will be limited to between 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. in compliance with International Labour Convention No 90. This amendment is unlikely to give rise to any adverse reaction from the public.
18
No great public interest is expected regarding the move to control employment agencies dealing with overseas domestic helpers although this will probably be welcomed.
