Document background
The Final Pay Letter To Employee is a crucial document required when employment relationships conclude in Hong Kong. It must be prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance and related legislation, serving as the definitive record of all final payments and settlements between employer and employee. This document is typically issued following resignation, termination, or mutual separation, and must be provided within 7 days of the employment cessation. The letter encompasses various elements including final salary calculations, pro-rated bonuses, unused leave payments, MPF arrangements, and any statutory payments such as severance or long service payment where applicable. It also addresses practical matters such as the return of company property and tax documentation requirements. The document plays a vital role in ensuring clear communication and legal compliance while protecting both parties' interests in the employment separation process.
