According to section 40 of the Ordinance, no employer shall employ any employee in any employment unless there is in force a policy of insurance to cover their liabilities both under the Ordinance and at common law for injuries at work in respect of all their employees, irrespective of the length of employment contract or working hours, full-time or part-time employment. Should there be any queries on legal liability, employers should seek professional legal advice. An employer who fails to comply with the Ordinance to secure an insurance cover commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a maximum fine of $100,000 and imprisonment for two years . Moreover, under the Employees' Compensation Assistance Ordinance, Chapter 365 of the Laws of Hong Kong, an employer who fails to comply with the compulsory insurance requirement is liable to pay a surcharge to the Employees Compensation Assistance Fund Board.
