This month our update covers:
- the PRC’s new regulations for Financial Holding Companies, and the need to exercise control over the appointment and management of directors, supervisors and senior managers - here.
- Our Hong Kong update considers the safety landscape and in particular the protections afforded to ill and injured workers.
- India’s labour reforms: the new rules covering gig, platform and fixed term workers in the Social Security Code are covered here (our updates on the Code on Wages and the Industrial Relations Code are here and here).
- Our Compliance Check here reminds employers about the rules around revoking offers of employment in Malaysia (spoiler alert: easier to do if the employee hasn’t started employment).
- Our Asia Comparative Article here looks at hiring restrictions, and compares the rules across Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia and the PRC.
Those with a presence in India may want to join our upcoming webinar which supplements our e-bulletin updates and discusses the four new Labour Codes, exploring what businesses need to do to respond. For more details, click here.
