Document background
The Employment Contract Extension Letter is a crucial document used when an organization wishes to extend the employment period of an existing employee in Hong Kong. This document is particularly relevant for fixed-term contracts reaching their end date or when there's a need to formally document the continuation of employment. It must comply with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance and related employment legislation, ensuring that all statutory requirements are met. The letter typically confirms the extension period, maintains or modifies existing terms and conditions, and may include updates to compensation, benefits, or job responsibilities. It serves as an addendum to the original employment contract and provides legal certainty for both employer and employee regarding the continued employment relationship.
