Law Constraints: Labour Laws

McDonalds is also constraint by labour law within Hong Kong. As there are maximum working hours for days and weeks for specific age cohorts, these employees can only work a specific amount of time in the day, forcing McDonalds to hire more employees to even out day and night shifts. Furthermore, wage is a huge constraint as labour laws dictate companies on how much an employees must earn, no matter his/her rank in the company, therefore all workers will earn above a specific amount in McDonalds. The labour law also states that children under 15 are prohibited to work in all industrial undertakings. Thus, the HR department in McDonalds will have to be really careful in selecting its employees and deciding how MANY employees they can undertake.
