Secretary for Labour and Welfare Law Chi-kwong announced that the Government would distribute the first tranche of ESS funds by June, which will be for June, July and August. Details of the second tranche which will cover September, October and November will be announced later. Applications for the subsidy will be open in May. This has raised numerous questions for employers, and we will have our legal team and Paul Arkwright, Publisher & Editor-in-Chief, HR Magazine live online to answer your questions in our next Livestream at 11.00 am on Thursday 14 May.

HR Magazine
Paul Arkwright is triple qualified in hosting the absolute best HR panel discussions in Hong Kong, Singapore and rest of APAC. With over 20 years in Hong Kong (yes it really is that long), he’s opened three companies in Hong Kong, one in Macau, had three kids (who are starting to go to uni now), lived on a boat in the middle of the sea, and learnt he can’t be Gen-X his whole life and is currently transitioning into becoming a Gen-C. He pulls no punches to get to the bottom of things that matter most to HR. If it needs asking he’ll ask it, and keep asking until he gets an answer.
Paul has authored and published HR Magazine, HR Guide to L&D, HR Guide to Recruitment, HR Guide to Corporate Medical Insurance and in his spare time writes Civil Service Newsletters and edits scientific research papers. And if you subscribe to HR Magazine you can read them all today (well, I’ll save you from the research papers, but the rest might interest you, and keep you busy for a while during lockdown – best read while sipping a nice refreshing Quarantini cocktail or how about with a cool Mai Tai…have some hand sanitizer, please.
