Document background
The Retirement Letter Due To Old Age is a crucial document used when an employee reaches the retirement age as specified in their employment contract or company policy, in accordance with Hong Kong employment law. This document serves multiple purposes: it formally communicates the retirement arrangement, confirms the last working day, outlines the final payment details including MPF arrangements, and addresses any post-retirement benefits or obligations. The letter must comply with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and related legislation, particularly regarding retirement benefits and age-related employment provisions. It provides legal protection for both employer and employee by clearly documenting the retirement terms and ensuring all statutory requirements are met. The document is typically prepared when an employee approaches the standard retirement age (usually 60-65 years in Hong Kong) and requires input from various internal departments to ensure all aspects of the retirement process are properly addressed.
