Employment Matters

In schools where the Codes of Aid do not apply, the terms of

employment are regulated by the general law relating to employment,
7
including the Employment Ordinance .
The Employment Ordinance also applies to employment arrangements

in aided schools. In addition, the Codes of Aid contain detailed
provisions regulating the staff establishment, the terms of
employment, salary increments, and leave arrangements. The Codes
also regulate the manner in which teaching staff can be suspended or

terminated.
A teacher must be furnished with a contract of service and / or a letter
of appointment signed by the Supervisor and countersigned by the

teacher on appointment. Such contract of service or letter of
appointment shall not be subject to annual renewal, but subject to the
agreement between the teacher concerned and the School
Management Committee, the contract may be renewed at regular

intervals.
