MINIMUM WAGE ORDINANCE

(2) Without limiting subsection (1), the purposes referred to in that subsection include calculating—

(a) the amount of any wages or of any other sum payable under the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57);
(b) any amount payable by way of an ex gratia payment under the Protection of Wages on Insolvency Ordinance (Cap. 380);
(c) the amount of any mandatory contribution required to be paid to a provident fund scheme under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (Cap. 485); and
(d) the monthly earnings of the employee for the purposes of the Employees’ Compensation Ordinance (Cap. 282) or the Occupational Deafness (Compensation) Ordinance (Cap. 469).

(3) To avoid doubt and without limiting subsection (1), the amount of any additional remuneration to which an employee is entitled under subsection (1) forms part of the wages payable to the employee under the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and a failure to pay it may be dealt with in the same way as a failure to pay any other portion of those wages.
