Document background
The Memorandum Letter For Employees is a crucial document used when formalizing employment relationships in Hong Kong. It serves as the primary document confirming employment terms between an employer and employee, ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance and related employment legislation. This document is typically issued after a verbal job offer has been accepted and before or at the commencement of employment. It includes comprehensive details about employment terms, including compensation, benefits, working arrangements, and other conditions of employment. The letter format is preferred by many Hong Kong employers as it provides a clear, professional way to communicate employment terms while maintaining flexibility compared to more formal contract structures. The document must align with Hong Kong's statutory requirements while protecting both parties' interests.
