Document background
The Provisional Offer Of Employment is a crucial document in Hong Kong's employment process, typically used as the first formal written communication of employment terms between an employer and a potential employee. It serves as a preliminary step before the final employment contract, allowing both parties to agree on basic terms while protecting the employer's interests by making the offer conditional upon satisfactory completion of various pre-employment checks. The document must comply with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance and related legislation, including requirements for mandatory employment terms and conditions. It's particularly useful in situations where additional verifications, such as background checks, reference checks, or medical examinations, are required before finalizing employment. The provisional nature of the offer provides flexibility while maintaining legal compliance and establishing clear expectations for both parties.
