    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCLA8/2013

    No arguable question of law: the employment commenced on actual performance (12 Jan 2012) so wages not payable for unworked days; the Employment Ordinance permits splitting of annual leave subject to s41AA; the contract defines 'place of origin' as Pangasinan so return passage obligation covers Pangasinan and clause 7(b) fixes a daily travelling and food allowance which covers local bus fares, and clause 7(b) does not extend to departure from Macau as it is not the defined place of origin.
