[法律師兄] 僱員補償條例問題

As his principal employment location is not in Hong Kong, he is not considered as an employee in the view of Hong Kong Ordinance.

However, in this case, your company must comply all necessary requirement based on his location in the U.S.

There is no Ordinance mentioning that.

Basically you have explained the issue - he works in the U.S. Hong Kong has no legal authority overseas.

In case of the injury or death, your local-based U.S. policy will do the payout (as soon as it is covered).

2012-04-30 14:52:29 補充：
Not necessary - however, due to the design of the legal system, suing in Hong Kong will significantly lower the compensation. (Workers' Compensation tends to pay higher in the U.S.)

No one will risk it at all.

Beside - workers' compensation is a no-fault system. It is difficult for the employee to get more than what he is entitled to based on the system's design.

1. 假定貴司的僱傭合約是受制於香港法律，而合約內沒有條文要求貴司提供符合美國本土保障法律，情況比較簡單。
2. 按香港僱員補償條例(第282章) 第40條，僱主一定要為僱員購買僱主法律責任的強制保險，否則僱主不得僱用該僱員從事任何工作。基本保額是HK$100,000,000(以每宗事故計) ，若員工多過200人，保額則為HK$200,000,000(以每宗事故計)
3. 香港法例沒有強制要求僱員在海外購買保險。但實際上保險公司可以將保單涵蓋在海外工作的員工。但貴司要與保險公司商討額外保費，許多香港僱傭合約的員工，因公要往中國工作，通常公司的保險既包香港，也包中國以至海外的。
