EMPLOYMENT

The Workmen's Compensation (Amendment) Ordinance came into force on January 1, 1970. This amending legislation increases substantially the maximum and minimum lump sums payable on death and permanent incapacity, raises the level of periodical payments during periods of temporary incapacity, and makes such periodical payments payable in addition to any lump sums for death or permanent incapacity. In addition the amendment brings domestic servants and agricultural workers within its scope and also extends the coverage of non-manual workers to include those whose earnings do not exceed $1,500 a month.
