In this seminar, two experienced lawyers will give an overview of current laws, common pitfalls, and best practices in the key areas, focusing on the complexities from hiring to termination. To conclude the seminar, two governance professionals will join a panel discussion addressing unlawful dismissal by employers in Hong Kong and some other HR issues from the perspectives of employers and employees.
