A non-accountable housing allowance paid under the contract is consideration for services and falls within the statutory definition of 'wages' under the Employment Ordinance; the statutory exclusion for 'the value of any accommodation provided by the employer' applies to benefits in kind, not to actual monetary housing allowances, so the housing allowance must be included in wages in lieu of notice.
