Asia Employment, Pensions and Incentives Update September 2019

This month our update looks at:

• changes to the minimum wage requirements in India which starts to simplify the complex wage provisions, and guarantees minimum wage payments to all employees;
• in Singapore the case of Pradeepto Kumar Biswas v East India Capital Management Pte Ltd  confirms the position that employment relationships can be implied based on the conduct of the parties;
• in Hong Kong, we consider the extended scope of springboard injunctions discussed in the case of McLarens Hong Kong Ltd v Poon Chi Fai, Corey; 
• our Asia Comparative Article looks at working hours and overtime rules in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan;
• our Compliance Check reminds readers of the probationary period rules in Vietnam.

Finally, a reminder to those readers based in Sydney – we will be launching our Asia Pacific Employment Law Guide over a lunchtime learning session on 12th September. If you would like to attend, please email Rhys Paxton at [email protected].
