Employers

FDH employers, especially first time employers, may not be familiar with employment matters and may not be fully aware of their obligations as an employer. We pride in taking time to brief and support FDH employers properly about their obligations under EO, IO and the SEC. FDH employers should also take out suitable employees’ compensation insurance for their employees as required under ECO and their obligations under Clause 9 of the SEC in relation to medical expenses of FDHs.
