Employees Without Redundancy

The following categories of employees are not covered by the Protection of Employment Act, and are therefore not eligible for Redundancy Benefit. Employers are therefore required to contribute 6.75% in respect of those employees.

Employees not covered by the Protection of Employment Act are as follows:

1. Government workers;

2. Managerial staff (who have, and actually exercise authority to hire and fire employees);

3. Stevedores, Long-shore men and Lighter men;

4. Domestic workers; and

5. Any employee who is the father, mother, husband, wife, brother, sister, son or daughter of the employer.
