Document background
The Employee Joining Letter is a crucial document in Hong Kong's employment framework, typically issued after successful job negotiations and before the commencement of employment. It serves as a formal offer of employment and, upon acceptance, becomes a binding employment contract. The document must comply with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance and related legislation, including provisions for minimum wage, working hours, and mandatory benefits such as MPF contributions. It's designed to clearly communicate employment terms, protect both parties' interests, and establish a clear framework for the employment relationship. The letter should be comprehensive enough to cover all essential terms while remaining clear and accessible to the employee.
