Document background
An End of Service Contract is a crucial document used in Hong Kong employment relationships when formalizing the termination of employment, whether through mutual agreement, resignation, or dismissal. This document is essential for protecting both employer and employee interests by clearly documenting all aspects of the separation, including statutory entitlements under Hong Kong law, final payments, treatment of benefits, and ongoing obligations. It helps prevent future disputes by providing a comprehensive record of the agreed terms and ensures compliance with Hong Kong employment legislation, particularly the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and related regulations. The agreement is typically used for permanent employees at all levels and becomes particularly important for senior executives or employees with access to confidential information or significant company resources.
