Document background
The Company Contract For Employees is a fundamental legal document used to establish and regulate employment relationships in Hong Kong. This contract type is essential for any business operating in Hong Kong that employs staff, as it ensures compliance with the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and other relevant Hong Kong employment legislation. The document serves multiple purposes: it clearly defines the terms and conditions of employment, protects both employer and employee interests, ensures compliance with statutory requirements, and provides a clear framework for managing the employment relationship. The contract should be used at the commencement of any new employment relationship or when significantly modifying an existing employee's terms of employment. It includes provisions for all mandatory elements required under Hong Kong law while allowing for customization based on specific role requirements, seniority levels, and industry practices.
