The Civil Service Bureau issued a circular to various policy bureaus and departments last week, requiring government employees hired on or after July 1, 2020 on non-civil service terms of employment to sign a declaration to support the Basic Law, to be loyal to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and to issue it in the department Relevant letters are signed and returned within three weeks, and those who refuse to sign may be terminated.

The Director General of the Federation of Civil Service Unions, Leung Choi-ting, said on the TV and TV program this morning (24) that if it is an employee who has signed a contract for more than one year, it is understandable to sign a declaration, but some employees who have a short-term contract of 3 months or half a year also have to do so. Signing may be a bit too much, or reduce the attractiveness of temporary government workers.

Leung Choi-ting pointed out that the current number of government employees employed by such civil servants' terms of employment is about 20,000, and this should increase slightly in the next few years, because there are more temporary jobs in the epidemic.

He believes that it is understandable for employees who have a contract for more than one year to take an oath. They have always worked in the government for a long time. It is normal for employers to request valid loyalty. However, if the working period itself is short for some three-month, six-month temporary workers, In the future, there will be a lot of constraints on speech, which may reduce the attractiveness of these types of jobs, unless the salary is really much higher than that in the private market.

For example, he pointed out that some types of jobs, such as lifeguards, are seasonal in nature. If they accept short-term employment from the government, they must abide by the rules of these statements. They may prefer to work in private swimming pools.

Leung Choi-ting said that it is difficult to predict how many non-civil service contract employees refuse to sign and declare to resign, because many of these jobs are of a temporary nature, and employees do not need to provide reasons for resigning at any time.
