Minor Employment Claims Adjudication Board

  • The Minor Employment Claims Adjudication Board (MECAB) established under the Minor Employment Claims Adjudication Board Ordinance (Cap. 453) adjudicates minor employment claims each involving not more than 10 claimants for a sum of money not exceeding $15,000* per claimant. Any employment claims above the jurisdictional limit of MECAB will be adjudicated by the Labour Tribunal of the Judiciary.
    * Only applies to a claim for which the right of action arises wholly or partly on or after 17 September 2021. The jurisdiction of MECAB is confined to a claim not exceeding $8,000 per claimant if the right of action arose wholly before 17 September 2021.
  • Hearings of minor employment claims are conducted in public and no legal representation is allowed. The award or order made by an Adjudication Officer of MECAB is legally binding.
