Hi,
I have moved last year in May-2007 from Singapore to Hong Kong (more than 2.5 years) and working in invetsment banking in IT. This year so far has been good, but if the markets falling again, then I fear that the job cuts will start again. I want to know few facts as I am still new in Hong Kong.
1. I want to know what kind of unemployment benefits does foreign nationals (Non-PR holders) can claim in Hong Kong if they are made redundant in their Job?
2. Also, what's the normal severance package does employers offer in Japan? Is it negotiable or the employers force the employees to agree the package whtever beong offered.
3. Does the HK laws favour employees or employers because in some countries it favours the employees.
4. Is there any unemployment insurance schemes in Hong Kong?
