Working Day
Working day, also known as labour day, refers to the length of time (hours) that employees work in a day. Working day is the working time in a daily unit.
*According to the “Employment Ordinance”, the maximum working hours of employed people is 8 hours per day and 48 hours per week. You may only work a maximum of 6 days per week and may not work overtime. Working hours must be between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm daily, unless specifically permitted by the Labour Department.
Rest Day
Rest day is defined as a period of not less than 24 consecutive hours during which the employee has the right not to work for the employer. The employer only needs to notify the employee of the arrangement of the rest day (orally, in writing, or by posting the employee’s leave list for the month).
