Standard Working Hours

123.         Employees in Hong Kong work relatively long hours in general. Following the release of the Report of the Policy Study on Standard Working Hours by the LD last November, the LWB will set up a Special Committee on Standard Working Hours in the first quarter of this year to follow up on the study. The Special Committee, as proposed in my Manifesto, will comprise government officials, representatives of labour unions and employers' associations, academics and community leaders. The Government hopes that various sectors of the community can make use of the platform provided by the Special Committee to carry out informed and in-depth discussion on working hours, build consensus and identify the way forward.
