Moving from part-time to full-time work in Hong Kong

Check the new responsibilities, hours and written terms before the transition.

Understand the role

Ask your manager or HR about available positions, responsibilities, qualifications and how to apply. Prepare examples of your contribution and transferable skills.

Compare the terms

Ask how full-time hours, pay, probation, leave and benefits apply. Do not assume the existing part-time terms carry over; check statutory entitlements against the actual circumstances.

Confirm the transition

Once agreed, confirm the effective date, contract and schedule changes in writing. Contact the Labour Department if you have questions about service or entitlements.
