It depends on your actual circumstances. For example, if you dismiss your staff member due to redundancy, you should still give advance notice or wages in lieu of notice. However, this would not be required for summary dismissal.

If you are not sure about your position, please contact the Labour Relations Division of the Labour Department at 2717 1771 for further information, or consult your own lawyer.
