October 2015- “Employee Dismissal across Asia – How much notice do you need to give” by the HRD Magazine
In October, HRD, an international HR magazine, interviewed Caroline Berube to find out how can their readers fire employees and the termination required in Singapore, Hong Kong and China. Caroline provided a nuanced account of the legal differences by drawing more than 18 years of experience in the region.
She summarized the following points based on the myriad of differences between the judicial requirements of the three countries in question:
| Country | Notice Period |
| Singapore | Between one day and four weeks – dependent on the time employee has been with the firm. |
| Hong Kong | A minimum of seven days |
| China | 30 days (provided specific conditions are met) |
