Document background
The Quitting Job For Mental Health Letter is a crucial document for employees in Hong Kong who need to resign from their position due to mental health concerns. It serves as a formal communication tool that balances professional requirements with personal privacy, while ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's employment laws, including the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and the Disability Discrimination Ordinance (Cap. 487). This document becomes necessary when an employee determines that their current role is significantly impacting their mental well-being and needs to formally end their employment. It includes essential elements such as formal resignation notice, basic health-related context (without detailed medical information), transition plans, and any specific requests for the notice period. The document can be customized based on seniority level, role responsibilities, and specific company policies while maintaining its core purpose of professional and legally compliant communication.
