Document background
An Experience Letter From Previous Employer is a crucial document in Hong Kong's employment landscape, serving as official confirmation of an individual's work history with a previous organization. This document is typically required when applying for new positions, visa applications, or other professional purposes where verification of previous employment is necessary. Under Hong Kong law, particularly the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57), employers are obligated to maintain employment records and provide reasonable documentation of employment upon request. The letter should include key information such as employment dates, positions held, and primary responsibilities while adhering to Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance requirements. Experience Letters are particularly important in Hong Kong's dynamic job market, where employment verification is a standard part of the hiring process.
