Document background
The Working Notice of Termination is a crucial document used in Hong Kong employment relationships when an employer wishes to terminate an employee's contract while requiring them to work during their notice period. This document must comply with the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and typically provides the statutory or contractual notice period, which varies based on the employee's length of service and employment contract terms. The notice should be issued when the employer has decided to terminate employment through proper channels, rather than making a payment in lieu of notice. It contains essential information about the termination process, final payments, company property return, and handover requirements. The document helps ensure a smooth transition and protects both parties' interests while maintaining compliance with Hong Kong employment laws.
