HKEX employees get 2-day vaccine leave

This is in line with the Hong Kong’s vaccine drive.

The Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) has joined the drive to speed up the rollout of the vaccination programme as it entitled its workers to two additional days of annual leave.

Hong Kong-based HKEX employees who have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine will be eligible to avail two days of leave.

This is in recognition of their commitment to community health as well as the stock exchange’s support for the Hong Kong government.

“Vaccination is the only way to beat this global pandemic. HKEX plays a critical role in the success of Hong Kong as an international financial centre, and we have sought to actively manage the resiliency and efficiency of our markets throughout this pandemic,” HKEX CEO Nicolas Aguzin said.

“We urge our staff and all those who can to get vaccinated.”

This followed the launch of the “Early Vaccination for All” campaign of the government, in which public service employees have likewise been granted two-days of leave.
