Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL) Director Wong Chi Hong said yesterday the government needed to take various factors into account when considering proposing the criminalisation of employing non-resident workers in jobs that are not covered by their officially approved job description.

Wong made the remarks while speaking to reporters after a regular closed-door meeting of the Standing Council on Social Concerted Action at the Macau Business Support Centre (MBSC) in Nape.

The Standing Council on Social Concerted Action, a government-appointed consultative body tasked with advising the government on its labour policies, consists of five business sector representatives and five labour representatives, as well as a number of government officials.
