Legal Employment – Hong Kong
Employers are required by law to inspect the job seeker's:
- Hong Kong identity card
and
- valid travel document if he/she is not holding a Hong Kong permanent identity card
in order to ensure the job seeker is lawfully employable before they enter into a contract of employment. Persons permitted to remain on visitor, student, employment conditions or persons whose travel documents are endorsed with a condition of stay that "Employment is not permitted" are not lawfully employable without first obtaining approval from the Director of Immigration.
