The Employment (Amendment) Ordinance 2025 amendments to the provisions for “continuous contracts” under the Employment Ordinance will be applicable starting next Sunday, January 18. Has your attendance system made the necessary two functional adjustments?
🌟Basic Function One – Simultaneous Processing of 417 and 468 Checks
Although the logic for calculating “468” already covers most scenarios for “417”, the system must be able to simultaneously detect whether individual weeks reach 17 hours but not 468, because reaching 17 hours in that week already meets the continuous contract threshold.
🌟Basic Function Two – Sick Leave Hours Calculated as Working Hours
Hours of absence due to employee sickness or injury are also calculated as working hours for the purpose of a continuous contract.

《2025年僱傭（修訂）條例》就《僱傭條例》下「連續性合約」規定所作出的修訂，將於下個星期日1月18日起適用。你們的考勤系統已作出兩項的必要功能調整了嗎?
🌟基本功能一 – 同時處理417及468檢查
雖然計算468的邏輯已經兼顧417的大多情況，但系統必須能夠同時偵測個別星期是否達到17小時但不達468，因為只要該星期達到17小時就已經達到連續性合約門檻。
🌟基本功能二 – 病假的時數作工作時數計算
員工因病或傷缺勤的小時，也作連續性合約的工作小時計算。
