Document background
The Permanent Layoff Letter is a crucial document used in Hong Kong when an employer needs to terminate employment relationships permanently due to business restructuring, economic conditions, or organizational changes. This document must strictly adhere to Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and related employment legislation, ensuring proper communication of termination terms, severance entitlements, and statutory obligations. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notification of employment termination, documents the official end date, details final payment calculations, outlines benefit arrangements, and specifies any post-employment obligations. Given Hong Kong's stringent employment laws, the document must be carefully drafted to include all legally required information while maintaining clarity and professionalism in communication.
