Document background
The Severance Letter to Employee is a crucial document used in Hong Kong employment terminations to formally communicate and document the end of an employment relationship. It must comply with the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and other relevant employment legislation. This document is typically used when an employee's position becomes redundant, when a business undergoes restructuring, or in other situations where severance payment is required under Hong Kong law. The letter includes specific details about termination timing, severance calculations, final payments, benefit arrangements, and post-employment obligations. It serves both as a formal communication tool and a legal document that protects both employer and employee interests by clearly stating all termination terms and conditions.
