Recently, many employers inquired about whether they should arrange MPF enrolment for their interns, summer interns and part-time employees who do not fulfil the \u201c418\u201d rule under the Employment Ordinance(EO). Under the EO, an employee who has been employed continuously by the same employer for four weeks or more, with at least 18 hours worked in each week, is regarded as being employed under a \u201ccontinuous contract\u201d, which is also called \u201c418\u201d rule. In this case, can employers not arrange MPF enrolment for these employees?<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 MPF enrolment, however, is not subject to the \u201c418\u201d rule.<\/p>\n

MPF enrolment \u2260 \u201c418\u201d rule<\/h2>\n

For regular employees, no matter how many hours of work your employees perform in a week, as long as they are at least 18 but under 65 years of age and have been employed for 60 days or more, you are required to enrol them into an MPF scheme within the first 60 days of employment and make contributions on time. The first 60 days do not refer to actual working days or working hours, but are calculated based on calendar days.<\/p>\n

For example, Stephen joined the company on June 1, 2020, which was the first day of work, and he worked on Monday and Tuesday. The first 60 days of employment would be July 30, 2020. Even though he only worked for 18 days, his employer must arrange MPF enrolment for Stephen on or before July 30.<\/p>\n

If Stephen\u2019s monthly salary is less than HK$7,100, he does not need to make any contribution. However, the employer must make mandatory contributions to him, the contribution amount is 5% of the relevant income.<\/p>\n

\"Register<\/p>\n

Make the first-time contribution for the new employees based on their join date and relevant income. Workstem<\/a><\/span>\u2019s MPF<\/a><\/span> function can automatically calculate the amount of MPF contribution of all employees based on their join date and salary, and add it into the net pay. No matter if it is mandatory contributions or voluntary contributions, you can one-click calculate and export the MPF report!<\/p>\n
