Document background
The Letter of Termination of Service is a crucial document used in Hong Kong employment relationships to formally notify an employee of the termination of their employment. This document must strictly comply with the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and related employment legislation, making it essential for proper workforce management and legal compliance. The letter serves multiple purposes: it confirms the termination decision, specifies the notice period or payment in lieu, outlines final payment arrangements, and addresses post-employment obligations. When drafting a Letter of Termination of Service, employers must ensure all statutory requirements are met, including proper notice periods, calculation of terminal payments, and consideration of any contractual obligations. The document is particularly important in Hong Kong's dynamic business environment, where clear documentation of employment termination is crucial for both legal protection and maintaining professional standards.
