Document background
The Trainee Appointment Letter is a crucial document used when organizations in Hong Kong hire individuals into structured training programs. It combines elements of both an employment contract and a training agreement, ensuring compliance with Hong Kong employment law while setting clear expectations for the training period. This document is particularly important in regulated industries where formal training is required for professional qualification. The letter must include mandatory employment terms as required by the Employment Ordinance, while also incorporating specific training elements such as rotation schedules, assessment criteria, and development objectives. It's typically used at the beginning of graduate programs, professional training schemes, or apprenticeships, and serves as the foundational document governing the trainee's relationship with the organization throughout their training period.
