Hong Kong
Contracts in Hong Kong are usually open-ended, or more commonly referred to as ‘permanent’ contracts.
A temporary contract in Hong Kong is typically used for a contract of limited duration, such as a fixed-term contract.
It is worth noting that in Hong Kong, the main distinction in employment law is between “continuous” and “non-continuous” employment rather than contract type. To qualify as continuous employment, an employee must have worked for an employer for 18 or more hours per week, for four or more consecutive weeks.
No. Hong Kong only allows two types of employment contract.

Open-ended employment contracts are the most common type of contract in Hong Kong. They offer ongoing employment with no fixed end date, and if the employer wishes to end the contract they will need to terminate the employment. Temporary contracts allow for automatic termination, but if they are not renewed then the employer must pay an ‘end of service’ payment.
The best type of employment contract depends on the job role and specific circumstances. For the vast majority of roles, an open-ended contract is the most suitable. however, there are some circumstances where an alternative like a temporary contract may be more suitable.
