Document background
The Separation Letter is a crucial document used in Hong Kong employment contexts to formalize the termination of employment relationships. It serves as an official record of the separation terms and conditions, ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance and related legislation. This document is typically used when employment is terminated by mutual agreement, resignation, or employer-initiated termination, excluding cases of summary dismissal. The Separation Letter includes essential information such as the termination date, final payment details, benefits arrangements, and post-employment obligations. It helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting all separation terms and ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations. The document must be carefully drafted to comply with Hong Kong employment law requirements while protecting the interests of both the employer and employee.
