It is not a newly invented concept and actually many European and Asian countries have adopted the minimum wages policy for long. Since the implementation of the minimum wages, it has been a controversial topic in our Hong Kong society. Being the one works in the property management field, this dissertation aims to examine the implementation of the Statutory Minimum Wages among the property management companies in Hong Kong and to critically review and evaluate the costs and benefits of this policy on the property management companies. Many scholars and economists have taken efforts to study the impacts of implementing the Statutory Minimum Wages. By reviewing those studies it helps to understand the possible costs and benefits that the minimum wages policy could bring. However, most of the studies are focused on the impacts of the minimum wages policy to the personal or society, very rare that they would have studied on the impacts of the minimum wages on a specific industry. There are also no scholars and economists did a research on the impacts of the Statutory Minimum Wages on the property management industry. To understand the impacts of the Statutory Minimum Wages on property management companies in Hong Kong, both primary and secondary data research has been conducted in order to find out the answer. For the secondary data research, data are collected via various channels including government's report, Census and Statistics Department, journals, books and newspapers etc. For the primary data research, both qualitative and quantitative method has been used. The quantitative questionnaire interview aims to interview the people working in the property management companies and see how the implementation of the minimum wages could have impact on them. There is also a qualitative face to face interview to the property managers so as to understand the impacts of the minimum wages policy to the property management companies. By gathering the information and analysis the data, this paper suggests that at the current stage the implementation of the Statutory Minimum Wages could bring more benefits than costs to the property management companies in Hong Kong. The overall living standard and living quality of the people working in the property management companies has been improved. Although the minimum wages would increase the company operation cost, it is suggested that the benefits generated could cover the cost increment in long run and it is worthy to continue the enactment of the minimum wages policy. Nevertheless, there is the recommendation that the future review of the minimum wages level should not be too aggressive. Prior any adjustment taken there should have a detail study on the market situation and the company affordability. Great changes at a time would be out of the affordability of the property management companies, which in turn would lead to the negative effect of close down of companies and trigger the layoff of employees. The policy should be review and adjust bit by bit so as to favor for the long term development of the property management companies in Hong Kong.

Under the implementation of statutory minimum wage, the property management companies have to pay at least $30 to their staff per hour, it increases the staff cost of property management companies and reduces the profit of the companies. On theother hand, the property owners have to pay higher management fee due to the increase of staff cost, they expected that they should receive better quality of services. If the service standard of the property management companies could not match with owners' expectation, it would affect the customer satisfaction towards the service of the property management companies. As a result, it would increase the conflicts between the property owners and the property management companies and it might affect the relationship between each other. Indeed, the property management companies are facing high pressure on it now. Therefore, it is meaningful to study the impacts of minimum wage on the service quality of property management companies in Hong Kong. In this study, we try to investigate whether the implementation of minimum wage can improve the service quality of the properties management companies in Hong Kong and increase the satisfaction level of the employees and the customers. The scope of study will be focused on two different types of property management companies. One is a large-sized property management company (Company A) which is the subsidiary of large developer in Hong Kong. The other is a small to medium sized property management company (Company B) which is a non-subsidiary company. By doing this research, it could compare the service quality of different types of property management companies after the implementation of minimum wage. Two sets of questionnaires were sent out in order to collect the viewpoints from the staff of the property management companies and the owners/residents' of middle class residential properties. There were altogether 250 questionnaires were done, the results showed that both Company A and Company B were in the same direction. The results expressed that either internal customer (staff of the property management companies) or the external customer (owners/residents) of both companies did not think that the service quality of management office have significant improvement after the minimum wage. Based on the results of the research, we suggest some ways to improve the service quality of the service team and also give some recommendation to government in implementing the minimum wage policy so that it could benefit for people working in the property management field in Hong Kong.

In this dissertation, it can see that the changes in the field of property management after implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance. The aim of implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance to safeguard the interests of the vulnerable and grassroots workers. However, it found that it is very difficult to recruit frontline security staff than before. Hence, questionnaire and interview were conducted for analysis the existing working and living condition of frontline security staff and managerial grade staff. It can get more details what are the problems after implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance. Moreover, some recommendations and suggestions are given for review of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance. In this project, it was found that frontline security staff get their job easier than before and the majority of their hourly wage rate at between $30.1 and $33. The frontline security staff also consider to get their job not only hourly wage but also the other fringe benefits what the property management company can provide. On the other hand, the managerial grade staff felt that their workload were increased and they also disagree the benefits could outweigh disadvantages after implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance. Furthermore, management fee were increased inevitably which affected by the implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance. It was known that the Statutory Minimum Wage rate was applied to all industries which set up in one rate. It is time for review the policy that set up a different minimum wage rate for different kind of industries. Recently, a referendum was conducted in Switzerland by resolution of implementing the Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance on 18 May 2014, and it was rejected by majority. They concern that implementing the Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance not only to weaken the productivity and competitiveness for each industry but also implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance cannot be improved the quality of living condition. To improve the quality of living condition for grassroots workers, working hard is the best solution. We may put this case of Switzerland in to Hong Kong for reference and we may also make our own choice by a referendum for resolution of implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance.

Abstract: ASTRACT The issue of minimum wage is complicated and carries a far-reaching impact on the future socio-economic development of Hong Kong. It involves a plethora of questions which need to be answered. For example, what is considered to be a reasonable minimum wage? Should it be across the board or targeted at individual trades or sectors? Is legislation absolutely essential? Should a pilot scheme be launched in the first place and mechanism for setting and adjusting the minimum wage? How to monitor that mechanism? Will a minimum wage result in a surge in labour costs to the level beyond the affordability of employers so that our business environment and economy will be seriously eroded? Will a minimum wage really benefit elementary workers who need such protection most or will they be priced out of the labour market as employers would prefer people of better skills and knowledge when the wage has to be at or above a certain level? In other words, will the policy be really effective and will not do more harm than good? When Hong Kong is moving towards a knowledge-based society and when labour -intensive jobs or jobs requiring just basic skills are fast diminishing, will a statutory minimum wage provide greater protection to workers in the lower strata or will we be taking away what remains of the precious job opportunities from them? These are all fundamental - 5/78 - questions that need to be tackled. However, it is hard to answer and consolidate the above questions, as the policy arena is varying in different circumstances. In other way round, I try to illustrate the views and stands of different politicians in Hong Kong considering the effectiveness of Minimum Wages Legislation and see how the Administration react in relation to the views of different politicians. As a result, we will see from the paper that the Administration is not going to take side, but, as a result, draws a line in between the politicians trying to resort the community conflict and balance the public interest in the sake of Hong Kong's situation. - 6/78 - DOI: 10.5353/th_b3828359 Subjects: Minimum wage - Law and legislation - China - Hong Kong Minimum wage - Political aspects - China - Hong Kong

Book excerpt: Professional housing management is of growing importance in Hong Kong and the "Hong Kong management model" is adopted in many neighbouring high-density cities. However, there has been by far no literature on the subject of housing management practices in Hong Kong. This book is therefore crucial in understanding how housing management makes significant contributions to the safety, viability, liveability and vibrancy of our high-density and high-rise environment. Since the late 1980s, housing education in this city has developed by leaps and bounds. A recent study found that over 3,000 junior practitioners would be seeking professional training or further study for career advancement. This book is an indispensable aid to self-study or taught courses.
