Document background
The Internship Appointment Letter is a crucial document used when organizations in Hong Kong engage interns, whether for student placements, graduate programs, or general internships. It serves multiple purposes: legally protecting both the organization and the intern, establishing clear expectations and terms of the internship, and ensuring compliance with Hong Kong employment laws and regulations. The document needs to be particularly careful in addressing whether the intern qualifies for student intern exemption under the Minimum Wage Ordinance, and must include specific provisions required by Hong Kong employment legislation. This letter is typically used at the final stage of the internship recruitment process, after the selection has been made but before the internship commences.
