MPF Arrears Lead to Calls for Investigation of Hong Kong Fitness Chain Closure
Escalating Concerns Over MPF Issues
A prominent Hong Kong labour rights legislator, Tang Ka-piu, has raised concerns over the recent closure of a major fitness chain, potentially linked to severe MPF arrears. This situation raises questions about whether the chain violated the Trade Descriptions Ordinance while promoting memberships.
Labour Rights and Company Accountability
Tang has demanded an investigation, stating, “Closure is closure,” and questioning the legality of the chain’s vague claims of a temporary shutdown. With over 700 jobs in jeopardy, affected employees must report to the Labour Department.
Government Support Initiatives
- The Labour Department is prepared to assist employees in wage recovery.
- Complaints regarding the fitness chain are being monitored by authorities.
- Legal actions might be taken if MPF arrears are not settled promptly.
