然而，審計署及申訴專員公署分別於2016及2018年發表報告，指出聯辦處的工作有若干不足之處。
However the Audit Commission and the Office of The Ombudsman released reports in 2016 and 2018 respectively pointing out certain inadequacies in the work of JO
此外，本人近年不時接獲新界東居民和區議員的投訴，指稱聯辦處跟進滲水舉報的速度十分緩慢，令受滲水問題滋擾的居民苦不堪言。
In addition in recent years I have received from time to time complaints from residents and District Council members in New Territories East that JO has been very slow in following up reports on water seepage leaving residents troubled by water seepage nuisance in misery
主席，樓宇滲水一般是由於樓宇和設施破損及缺乏維修所致。
President water seepage in buildings is generally caused by the defective fabric or installations of buildings and the lack of proper maintenance
妥善管理和維修保養樓宇，包括解決樓宇滲水的問題，是樓宇業主及住戶應有的責任，亦需要有關業主及住戶的合作。
Proper management maintenance and repair of buildings including resolving water seepage problems are the responsibilities of building owners and occupiers and require the cooperation of the owners and occupiers concerned
一般而言，如果私人物業內部出現滲水情況，業主應首先自行安排檢驗滲水原因，並視乎情況和需要，與有關的住戶及其他業主協調，進行維修工程。
In general if water seepage occurs in private buildings the owners should first arrange their own investigation of the cause of seepage and as appropriate coordinate with the occupiers and other owners concerned for repair works
雖然如此，政府察悉到業主要處理樓宇滲水問題往往會遇到困難；而在聯合辦事處成立前由部門就樓宇滲水各自進行調查和執法，亦因各有其政策重點受其專業範疇限制，有時未能對市民提供更佳服務。
Nevertheless the Government recognized that owners will encounter difficulties in dealing with water seepage problems . Before the setting up of the Joint Office JO the investigation and enforcement actions taken by different departments according to their respective policy focus and professional expertise sometimes rendered us unable to provide better services to the public
故此，全城清潔策劃小組於2004年12月提出建議，由食物環境衞生署及屋宇署合組成立聯辦處，以改善跨部門合作，更快捷有效地處理樓宇滲水問題；而聯辦處亦在2006年開始在全港透過19個分區為市民提供服務。
In view of this Team Clean initiated in December 2004 the setting up of JO by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department FEHD and the Buildings Department BD to improve inter - departmental coordination and deal with building water seepage in a swift and effective manner . JO started to provide service to the public in 2006 through 19 districts in Hong Kong
如果在調查中確定滲水來源涉及妨擾情況，聯辦處會根據《公眾衞生及市政條例》向有關人士發出"妨擾事故通知"，着令在所指明的期限內減除妨擾事故，並就不遵從"妨擾事故通知"的個案提出檢控。
Once the source of seepage and nuisance have been identified during investigation JO will issue nuisance notice to the person concerned under the Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance Cap . 132 requiring the abatement of nuisance within a specified period of time and instigate prosecution against non - compliance with the nuisance notice
如果在調查時發現樓宇有安全問題，或供水喉管失修引致浪費供水情況，聯辦處亦會將個案轉介屋宇署及水務署，分別根據相關條例，採取相應跟進及執法行動。
If a building safety problem or waste of water caused by defective water supply pipes is found during investigation JO will also refer the case to BD and the Water Supplies Department for follow - up and enforcement action in accordance with relevant legislation
現時聯辦處面對不少挑戰，包括持續高企的滲水舉報數目、在調查時未能得到有關業主或住戶合作，以及測試方法的局限性等。
JO is now facing many challenges including the high number of water seepage reports difficulties in gaining entry into premises for investigation as well as the limitations imposed by the tests
但是，我們不會卻步，我們一直尋求應對方法。
Nonetheless such difficulties have not held us back; we strive to seek solutions for which I will introduce in my reply later
主席，我將於稍後回應時作出介紹。就質詢的3個部分，發展局及食物及衞生局的答覆如下： 一 於2015年至2017年，聯辦處接獲的滲水舉報、已處理的舉報、調查結果和已採取的執法行動的分區統計數字載於附件一。
The Development Bureau and the Food and Health Bureau provide a joint reply to the three parts of the question as follows 1 The geographical statistics on water seepage reports received by JO reports handled investigation results and enforcement actions taken from 2015 to 2017 are set out at Annex 1
總括而言，在過去3年，聯辦處平均每年收到約34,000宗滲水舉報，而已處理及完成調查的個案約28,000宗，包括有部分個案因例如在調查期間滲水情況停止而無需進一步處理，同期聯辦處平均每年發出約5,200張"妨擾事故通知"，而大部分"妨擾事故通知"亦已遵辦。
Overall speaking in the past three years JO received an average of some 34 000 water seepage reports per year in which 28 000 cases have been handled and investigation completed including cases that needed not be dealt with due to for instance cease of water seepage during investigation . JO had issued some 5 200 nuisance notice annually over the same period with majority of the nuisance notice complied with
聯辦處根據《公眾衞生及市政條例》作出平均每年約90宗檢控。
Over the same period JO instigated about 90 prosecutions under the Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance annually
聯辦處在過去3個財政年度的人手編制載於附件二。
The staff establishment of JO in the past three financial years is set out at Annex 2
一般而言，聯辦處人員在接獲滲水舉報後的6個工作天內，會聯絡舉報人，安排人員到有關樓宇進行視察檢查。
In general JO staff will contact the informant within six working days upon receipt of a water seepage report to arrange for inspection in the building concerned
倘若得到有關業主或住戶的合作，調查通常可於90個工作天內完成，以及將結果通知舉報人。
With the cooperation of the owners or occupants concerned the investigation can normally be completed within 90 working days and the informant will be advised of the outcome
如果未能於90個工作天內完成調查，聯辦處亦會書面告知舉報人調查進展。
If the investigation cannot be completed within 90 working days JO will notify in writing the informant of the investigation progress
上述只是一般處理時間；處理每宗滲水個案所需的時間，很大程度視乎所涉個案的複雜性和事涉各方的合作程度。
Outlined above is only the normal processing time . The time required for processing a water seepage case largely depends on the complexity of the case and the extent of cooperation of the parties concerned
對於一些複雜的個案，如果涉及多於一個滲水源頭、重複或間斷性的滲水情況，調查人員須進行不同、持續或重複的測試及監察。
For complicated cases which for instance involve multiple seepage sources recurring or intermittent water seepage JO staff will have to conduct different ongoing or repeated tests and monitoring
由於測試需時，並要得到有關業主或住戶的充分合作，處理這類個案一般需要較長時間。
As these tests take time and require full cooperation of the owners or occupants concerned the processing of such cases generally takes more time
如果個案涉及空置單位或不合作的業主或住戶，則會更費時。
The processing time for cases involving vacant units or uncooperative owners or occupants would be even longer
目前聯辦處並無就調查滲水個案所需時間編製統計數字。
JO does not compile statistics on the time for investigating water seepage cases
二及三 聯辦處的主要目標是成立一個工作團隊，兼備有食環署的法定權力和屋宇署在屋宇測量方面的專業知識，為市民提供一站式服務。
2 and 3 The main objective of JO is to provide a one - stop service to the public by setting up a working team with both the legal authority of FEHD and the building survey expertise of BD
食環署及屋宇署早在成立聯辦處時已就處理滲水的調查、執法及檢控工作的程序及分工制訂明確清晰的工作指引。
FEHD and BD have drawn up clear operational guidelines on the investigation enforcement and prosecution procedures and plan on division of labour for handling water seepage cases since the establishment of JO
為加強內部協調和個案監察，食環署和屋宇署一直保持緊密聯繫，定期舉行各級會議，討論複雜個案的最佳處理方 法，以及檢討用以規管處理滲水舉報的指引和程序，以提升處理個案的效率和成效。
To strengthen internal coordination and case monitoring FEHD and BD have been maintaining close liaison through regular meetings at all levels . The meetings discuss how best to tackle complicated seepage cases and review guidelines and procedures governing the handling of water seepage reports so as to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness in handling seepage cases
為應付遞增的個案，聯辦處亦有增加人手編制。
JO has increased the manpower to tackle the increasing number of reports
食環署人員的數目由2006年成立時只有81名人員，遞增至現時224名人員。
The number of FEHDs staff has increased from 81 in 2006 to 224 at present
同期屋宇署人員的數目亦有所增加，而聘請顧問公司協助進行第三階段專業調查的開支，亦由140萬元增至3,400萬元。
The number of BDs staff has increased over the same period and the spending on appointment of consultants for carrying out of stage III professional investigation has substantially increased from 1.4 million to 34 million over the same period
此外，兩個部門大部分駐聯辦處的人員，亦由較早前屬非公務員合約員工，逐步轉為恆常的公務員編制員工。
In addition most of the posts of the two departments at JO has turned from non - civil service contract posts at the beginning into permanent civil service ones gradually
審計署曾於2016年就樓宇滲水問題採取的聯合行動進行衡工量值審查，並就聯辦處處理滲水問題作出一系列建議。
The Audit Commission conducted a value - for - money audit on the joint operations on water seepage in buildings in 2016 and made a series of recommendations for JO on handling water seepage
食物及衞生局及發展局一直緊密督促兩個部門積極跟進各項改善措施，以提升聯辦處的工作成效。
The Food and Health Bureau and the Development Bureau have been closely supervising the two departments to actively follow up the various improvement measures so as to enhance the effectiveness of JO
就聯辦處進行滲水調查所用的方法，屋宇署委聘的顧問公司，在檢視及研究最新的有關技術之後，已辨識多個查證滲水源頭的方法，並已進行實地測試，目前正制訂詳細技術指引。
On the tests adopted by JO in investigating water seepage the consultant engaged by BD has upon examining and researching into the latest technological methods identified various methods for identifying sources of water seepage conducted field tests and is now formulating detailed technical guidelines
聯辦處現正同步安排於試點地區全面使用新技術，在檢討成效後，我們會考慮是否將有關技術推擴至全港其他地區。
JO is in parallel arranging full application of these new technological methods in pilot districts . JO will evaluate their effectiveness and consider whether to extend such methods to all districts of Hong Kong
我們期望，新技術除可增加找出滲水源頭的機會外，亦能適當地紓緩前線人員的壓力。
We anticipate that the new technologies can increase the chance of identifying the sources of water seepage and suitably relieve the stress of frontline staff
為進一步改善滲水個案的處理，我們成立了一個專責檢討小組，分別由食環署的統籌主管和屋宇署的高級專業主任共同主持，全面檢討現時聯辦處的運作。
To further improve the handling of water seepage cases a task force led by Coordinator of FEHD and a senior professional officer of BD is formed to comprehensively review the current operation of JO
食物及衞生局及發展局會緊密督導有關檢討。
The Food and Health Bureau and the Development Bureau will closely steer the review
為促進聯辦處內兩個部門人員的溝通，並提升聯辦處整體效率，聯辦處已要求政府產業署協助物色合適的辦公室用地，以設立4個地區聯合辦公室，讓兩個部門的駐聯辦處人員可集中在同一地點工作。
To enhance the communication between JO staff of the two departments and to improve the overall efficiency of JO JO is seeking assistance of the Government Property Agency to identify suitable office space for setting up of four regional joint offices for co - location of JO staff of the two departments
按現時進度，我們估計4個地區聯合辦公室可望於2019年下半年成立。
According to the current progress the four regional joint offices are expected to be set up in the second half of 2019
聯辦處於2018-2019年度的人手及預算開支載於附件三。
The staff establishment and estimated expenditure of JO in 2018 - 2019 are set out at Annex 3
主席，我們希望透過以上種種措施，能有效提升聯辦處整體效率，讓我們為市民提供更佳服務。
President the above measures aim to enhance the overall efficiency of JO and our service to the public
去年"未能尋找滲水源頭的個案數目"為4100多宗，而局長在主體答覆中表示，聯辦處現正安排於試點地區使用新技術進行測試。
There were more than 4 100 cases for which the source of seepage could not be identified last year . The Secretary stated in the main reply that JO is arranging the application of new technological methods in pilot districts
我希望大家理解。
I hope Members will understand that
目前試用的新方法是甚麼？
What are the new methods currently used in pilot districts?
主席，成立聯辦處的主要目的，是協助私人物業解決滲水問題，但自從聯辦處在2006年成立至今，就個案數字或處理時間而言，似乎距離目標越來越遠。
President the major objective of setting up JO is to assist private properties in solving seepage problems . However since the establishment of JO in 2006 it seems that we are getting farther and farther away from the target in terms of the number of cases or handling time
所以，我歡迎局長建議成立一個專責檢討小組，檢討聯辦處的架構和處理方法。
Therefore I welcome the Secretarys proposal of forming a task force to conduct a review on JOs structure and handling methods
即成立樓宇事務審裁處以處理私人物業的維修、保養問題，包括滲水問題，並賦予審裁處權力，幫助私人業主找出滲水源頭，從而解決問題。
establishing a Building Affairs Tribunal BAT for resolving disputes over maintenance and repair of private buildings including seepage problems and empowering BAT to help private owners identify the source of seepage and solve the problems
政府了解，單靠政府人員和公權來處理問題，未必是最理想的做法。
The Government understands that relying solely on government officials and public power to deal with issues may not be the best practice
主席，很多市民對聯辦處有強烈意見，他們亦不明白，食環署及屋宇署花三四年進行調查，為何還未找到滲水源頭？
President many people have strong views on JO and they do not understand why FEHD and BD have failed to identify the source of seepage after they have spent three to four years on conducting investigations
前線衞生督察工會早前向立法會申訴部作出申訴，並提出3個罪狀，第一，屋宇署外判顧問遇到入屋困難，但屋宇署未有承擔責任，向法庭申請入屋手令；第二，當局錯誤引用《公眾衞生及市政條例》提出檢控；第三，屋宇署執法......
Some time ago the Frontline Health Inspector Union lodged a complaint with the Complaints Division of the Legislative Council and put forward three inadequacies . First despite the difficulties faced by BDs outsourced consultants in entering the flats in question BD has not assumed the responsibility to apply to the court for entry warrant; second the authorities wrongly cited the Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance in instituting prosecutions; third BD enforced the law
至於具體措施，正如我在主體答覆中指出，目前在所有分區辦事處中，只有4個辦事處有兩大職系同事一起工作。
As for specific measures as I stated in my main reply among all the offices in various districts only four offices have JO staff of the two departments working together
代理主席，我謹以《2018年稅務條例草案》委員會主席的身份，向立法會提交法案委員會的報告，並匯報法案委員會工作的重點。
Deputy President in my capacity as Chairman of the Bills Committee on Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2018 I now submit to the Legislative Council the Report of the Bills Committee and report on the highlights of the work of the Bills Committee
《2018年稅務條例草案》的目的，是落實2018-2019年度財政預算案中關於稅務寬免的若干建議，包括由2018-2019課稅年度起，增加及擴闊薪俸稅和個人入息課稅的稅階、增加多項免稅額的金額、增設傷殘人士免稅額，以及寬減2017-2018課稅年度的薪俸稅、個人入息課稅及利得稅。
The Inland Revenue Amendment Bill 2018 the Bill aims to implement various proposals concerning tax concessions in the 2018 - 2019 Budget including starting from the year of assessment 2018 - 2019 increasing and widening the tax bands for salaries tax and tax under personal assessment increasing various allowances and introducing a personal disability allowance as well as reducing salaries tax tax under personal assessment and profits tax for the year of assessment 2017 - 2018
法案委員會曾舉行1次會議，與政府當局討論《條例草案》。
The Bills Committee held one meeting to discuss the Bill with the Administration
法案委員會支持《條例草案》的建議。
The Bills Committee supports the proposals of the Bill
在審議過程中，法案委員會曾討論薪俸稅及個人入息課稅的稅制、免稅額的調整幅度，以及建議的一次性寬減利得稅對貧富差距的影響。
In the scrutiny process the Bills Committee discussed the tax regime concerning salaries tax and tax under personal assessment the levels of adjusting tax allowances and the impact of the proposed one - off reduction of profits tax on the wealth gap
有委員認為，與子女免稅額比較，供養父母或祖父母免稅額的金額和建議增幅較小，未能有效鼓勵年輕一代與父母或祖父母同住或照顧他們。
A member considers that the amount of dependent parent or grandparent allowances and the extent of the proposed increases are small compared with those of child allowances thus failing to effectively encourage the younger generation to live with or take care of their parents or grandparents
委員建議，政府當局日後應考慮以較大的幅度調高供養父母或祖父母免稅額。
The member advises the Administration to consider increasing dependent parent or grandparent allowances at a greater magnitude in the future
政府當局會繼續定期檢討各項免稅額和最高扣除額，並按適當情況建議調整的水平。
The Administration will continue to regularly review the various allowances and deduction ceilings and propose levels of adjustments as appropriate
有委員關注，是次寬減利得稅的建議，會否擴大香港的貧富差距。
A member is concerned about whether the proposal on reducing profits tax will widen the wealth gap in Hong Kong
就此，政府當局已向法案委員會提交資料，確認一次性寬減利得稅這建議不會影響政府統計處現行所編製的任何一項堅尼系數，並表示技術上無法評估調整稅階和邊際稅率對除稅後的堅尼系數有何影響。
In this connection the Administration has provided the Bills Committee with information to confirm that the proposed one - off reduction of profits tax has no impact on any of the existing Gini Coefficients compiled by the Census and Statistics Department adding that it is technically not feasible to assess the impact of the adjustments to tax bands and marginal rates on the post - tax Gini Coefficients
就現行評定薪俸稅和個人入息課稅的機制方面，有委員認為，賺取較高收入的人士理應繳交較多稅款，因此政府當局應考慮廢除15%的標準稅率而只採用累進稅率。
As regards the existing mechanism for assessing salaries tax and tax under personal assessment a member considers that those who earn more should pay more tax and thus the Administration should consider abolishing the standard rate of 15 % and adopting only progressive rates
政府當局解釋，如果按累進稅率計算的稅款多於按標準稅率計算的金額，納稅人只須按標準稅率繳交較低的稅款。
The Administration has explained that if the tax calculated at progressive rates exceeds the amount calculated at the standard rate the person is only required to pay the lower amount of tax at the standard rate
此制度符合香港奉行簡單低稅制的政策目的，並且與利得稅的兩級稅率相稱。
This regime aligns with the policy intent to maintain the simple and low tax system of Hong Kong and is commensurate with the two - tiered profits tax rates regime
政府當局表示，現階段並無計劃廢除薪俸稅及個人入息課稅的標準稅率，但會繼續定期檢討本港的稅制，包括稅階及各種稅項的稅率。
The Administration has advised that while there is no plan at this stage to abolish the standard rate for salaries tax and tax under personal assessment it will continue to regularly review the taxation system of Hong Kong including the tax bands and rates of various taxes
代理主席，法案委員會察悉，政府當局將會提出一項技術性的修正案。法案委員會對該項修正案並無異議。
Deputy President the Bills Committee has noted that the Administration will propose a technical amendment and has raised no objection to the amendment
法案委員會不會就《條例草案》提出修正案，並支持恢復《條例草案》的二讀辯論。
The Bills Committee will not propose amendments to the Bill and supports the resumption of the Second Reading debate on the Bill
代理主席，以下是我對《條例草案》的個人意見。
Deputy President the following are my personal views on the Bill
其實，相對於一次性的稅務寬免措施，這些恆常性的薪俸稅及個人入息課稅優惠調整更能減輕市民在稅務方面的負擔，惠及更多小市民，其中增加及擴闊薪俸稅及個人入息課稅的稅階，對於不少年輕的納稅人來說有極大的幫助。
In fact when compared with a one - off tax reduction such permanent adjustments for salaries tax and tax under personal assessment can better reduce the tax burden on the general public and benefit more people . In particular increasing and widening the tax bands for salaries tax and tax under personal assessment will be of great help to many young taxpayers
毫無疑問，對一些較為年輕，特別是無法享有其他免稅額的納稅人而言，新稅階會大大減輕他們的稅務負擔，對他們的幫助亦較為顯著。
Undoubtedly the new tax bands will significantly reduce the tax burden on some young taxpayers particularly those who are not entitled to other tax allowances and be of considerable help to them
此外，新稅階較原有稅階為闊，由4級增至5級，亦可以盡量減少納稅人由於應繳稅收入超出較低稅階，跌入較高稅階而須繳納更多稅款的問題。
In addition as the new tax band will be wider than the original one and the number of tax bands will be increased from four to five the number of cases where a taxpayer needs to pay a higher amount of tax because his chargeable income goes beyond a lower tax band and falls within a higher tax band will be minimized
例如，供養父、母這兩項免稅額最多只可以由兩名子女享有，其他子女則無法享有，這往往會導致一些有較多兄弟姊妹的家庭內部出現爭拗，影響家庭和諧。
For example the two allowances for dependent parents can at most be enjoyed by two children and other children are not entitled to such allowances thus often leading to disputes in families with many brothers and sisters and dealing a blow to family harmony
這對夫婦即使合併報稅，有關免稅額扣減所帶來的稅務優惠效果，可能還不及夫婦兩人各自報稅、平分子女免稅額的效果為好。
Even if the couple opt for joint assessment the tax concession arising from the tax allowances may not be as desirable as what they can enjoy if they opt for separate taxation and split the child allowance equally
因此，當局若容許納稅人可以自由攤分各種免稅額，既可以減少家庭內部因為誰人可以享用免稅額而產生爭拗，亦可以使納稅人享有更多稅務優惠及便利，對納稅人只會有利而無害。
For this reason if the authorities allow taxpayers to split various allowances as they wish it will not only reduce disputes in families concerning who should enjoy the allowances but taxpayers will also enjoy more tax concessions and convenience . Such a move will bring only benefits without doing any harm to taxpayers
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持《條例草案》，並希望當局日後可以考慮以更靈活及具彈性的方式，處理納稅人申領免稅額的安排。
With these remarks Deputy President I support the Bill . I hope that the authorities will consider handling taxpayers applications for allowances in a more flexible and discretionary manner
上屆立法會曾成立法案委員會審議政府當局於2016年提交的《2016年僱傭條例草案》，以加強對僱員的保障，令他們遭僱主不合理及不合法解僱時，僱主的同意並非頒令僱員獲得復職或再次聘用的先決條件。
A Bills Committee has been set up by the last Legislative Council to scrutinize the Employment Amendment Bill 2016 introduced by the Administration in 2016 . The 2016 Bill sought to enhance protection of employees by proposing that the employers agreement would not be a prerequisite for ordering reinstatement or re - engagement of the employee in cases of unreasonable and unlawful dismissal
《2017年僱傭條例草案》基本上與《2016年條例草案》大致相同，唯一不同的是，不遵從復職或再次聘用令的僱主須向僱員支付的額外款項上限，由原建議的50,000元提高至《條例草案》所建議的72,500元。
The Employment Amendment Bill 2017 the Bill is essentially the same as the 2016 Bill except for increasing the ceiling of the further sum payable by the employer to the employee for non - compliance with an order for reinstatement or re - engagement from the originally proposed 50,000 to 72,500 as proposed in the Bill
法案委員會一共舉行了3次會議，並在其中一次會議聽取了團體及個別人士的意見。
The Bills Committee has held a total of three meetings . During one meeting the Bills Committee has received views from organizations and individuals
以下我會扼要匯報法案委員會特別關注的事項。
I will briefly report on the items of particular concern to the Bills Committee as follows
就復職或再次聘用令的適用範圍，有委員關注到，是否涵蓋非按連續性合約受僱的僱員，以及海外家庭傭工。
Regarding the scope of the applicability of an order for reinstatement or re - engagement some members have expressed concern about whether the Bill covers employees who are not employed under a continuous contract and foreign domestic helpers
亦有委員認為，應擴大《條例草案》的適用範圍至不合理解僱的個案。
Some members have also taken the view that the scope of the Bill should be extended to cover unreasonable dismissal cases
政府當局表示，《條例草案》的目的是加強保障僱員，包括外籍家庭傭工，免受不合理及不合法解僱。
The Administration has advised that the object of the Bill is to enhance protection of employees including foreign domestic helpers against unreasonable and unlawful dismissal
因此，當局並無計劃將強制性復職或再次聘用的適用範圍擴大至其他類別的解僱情況。
Hence the Administration has no plan to extend compulsory reinstatement or re - engagement to other types of dismissal
至於非連續性合約僱員，在某些情況下，例如因工受傷在獲判補償前遭解僱，亦屬《條例草案》的適用範圍。
Employees who are not employed under a continuous contract are also covered by the Bill under certain circumstances such as the dismissal of employees with work - related injury before the award of compensation
根據《條例草案》的建議，在法院或勞資審裁處就不合理及不合法解僱的個案作出復職或再次聘用的命令時，必須同時在命令中訂明，倘若僱主未有遵從命令必須向僱員支付的3筆款項，即終止僱傭金、補償及《條例草案》中加入的額外款項。
As proposed in the Bill on making an order for reinstatement or re - engagement for unreasonable and unlawful dismissal cases the court or Labour Tribunal must specify in the order at the same time that if the employee is not reinstated or re - engaged as required by the order the employer must pay to the employee three sums including terminal payments compensation and the further sum as proposed in the Bill
委員察悉，額外款項上限已因應前法案委員會的意見，由50,000元上調至72,500元，或僱員每月平均工資的3倍，以較低者為準。
As noted by members in light of the views of the Former Bills Committee the ceiling of the further sum has been raised from 50,000 to 72,500 or three times the employees average monthly wages whichever is lesser
然而，有部分委員表示，儘管他們尊重勞顧會已調高額外款項的建議上限，這些委員仍然認為，應提高額外款項的上限至介乎10萬元至20萬元，或僱員每月平均工資的6倍，以較高者為準，好讓僱員，特別是較高薪的僱員，獲得較大保障。
However despite their respect for LABs suggestion on raising the ceiling of the further sum some members have maintained the view that the ceiling of the further sum should be increased to somewhere between 100,000 to 200,000 or six times the average monthly wages of employees whichever is the higher in order to provide better protection for employees in particular high - salaried employees
政府當局強調，《條例草案》現時建議的上限，是勞顧會經過詳細審議，包括前法案委員會的意見後，達成的新共識。
The Administration has stressed that the ceiling currently proposed in the Bill is a new consensus reached after thorough deliberations by LAB of among others the views of the Former Bills Committee
按照既定做法，如果就《條例草案》提出重大修訂，須重新提交勞顧會討論。此舉將無可避免延誤立法建議的實施。
Any significant changes to the Bill would have to be reverted to LAB for discussion in accordance with the standing practice which would inevitably delay the implementation of the legislative proposal
政府當局表示，會考慮在實施《條例 草案》後的合適時間，檢討有否需要調整額外款項的金額。
The Administration has advised that it would review the need to adjust the amount of the further sum in due course after the implementation of the Bill
此外，政府當局重申，視乎法院或勞審處的裁定，僱員可獲得命令所訂明的全部3筆款項。
In addition the Administration has reiterated that depending on the adjudication of the court or Labour Tribunal the employer may be liable to pay all the three sums specified in the order
有部分委員憂慮，僱主可藉着向僱員支付額外款項，而逃避將僱員復職或再次聘用僱員的責任。
Some members have expressed concern that an employer can evade the obligation to reinstate or re - engage an employee by paying the latter the further sum
