FDHs can enjoy 1 more statutory holiday this year

03 January 2022

By The SUN

 

FDHs can spend their additional holiday visiting the newly renovated Big Buddha in Lantau 

Foreign domestic helpers along with all other employees in Hong Kong, will have one additional statutory holiday starting this year -- the Birthday of the Buddha on May 8 -- bringing to 13 the number of days in which migrant workers are entitled to be off work.

As this will be a Sunday, on which most OFWs take their day off work, they are entitled to enjoy the new holiday the next day, according to guidelines issued by the Labour Department.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Buddha’s Birthday is the first of the five additional statutory holidays that will be added gradually until 2030 under the Employment (Amendment) Ordinance 2021, which took effect last Jan. 1.

The four other statutory holidays to be added to Hong Kong’s work calendar are the first weekday after Christmas Day, starting 2024; Easter Monday, from 2026; Good Friday, from 2028 and the day following Good Friday, from 2030.
