Speaker: Elsie Chan (Deacons / Hong Kong)
This vlog discusses the recent case of Kan Kin Tong v. Man Leong Fire Services Limited about the true nature of the Bonus Scheme. The company and the employee entered into a Bonus Agreement that stated bonus payments would be made every 6 months at a certain percentage based on the achievement of a net profit target, and that the payment is “subject to the final decision of the company”. Except for the new profit target, the agreement is silent on the conditions for bonus payment or the circumstances under which the company would exercise its discretion not to pay the bonus.

In this podcast, we dive into the fascinating connections between sports, labor economics, and labor law. Why do labor economists study sports? Because professional sports provide a unique, measurable environment to test core economic principles. Through the lens of sports, we also look at race and gender biases in areas like the NBA MVP vote and even NCAA tournament selections. With the help of statistical models, we uncover surprising biases and show how these models can be applied to real-world employment discrimination cases. View the video podcast here.
