Document background
The Formal Offer Letter Of Employment is a crucial document in the hiring process under Hong Kong law, serving as the initial written agreement between an employer and a prospective employee. It is typically issued after successful completion of job interviews and salary negotiations, but before the commencement of employment. The document must comply with the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and related employment legislation, including requirements for mandatory provident fund, statutory benefits, and anti-discrimination provisions. This formal offer letter includes essential employment terms such as job title, salary, benefits, working hours, and probation period, while also establishing the framework for the employment relationship. It serves both as a legal document and a welcome communication to the new employee, requiring careful attention to both legal compliance and professional tone.
