Document background
The Notice of Intent to Terminate is a critical document in Hong Kong's employment landscape, designed to initiate the formal process of employment termination in accordance with the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57). This document is typically used when an employer has made the decision to end an employment relationship and needs to communicate this intention in a legally compliant manner. The notice must include specific elements required by Hong Kong law, such as the notice period calculation, final working day, and any relevant statutory entitlements. It serves as the first formal step in the termination process and helps protect both employer and employee interests by clearly documenting the intended termination and its terms. The document should be prepared with careful consideration of contractual obligations, statutory requirements, and any applicable company policies.
