Document background
The Independent Contractor Offer Letter is a crucial document used when a company wishes to formally engage an individual or entity for specific services while maintaining a clear distinction from employment relationships under Hong Kong law. This document is particularly relevant in today's gig economy and project-based business environment, where companies frequently need specialized skills or expertise on a non-employee basis. The letter serves as the initial formal agreement that outlines the key terms of engagement, including scope of work, compensation, and professional expectations, while ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's legal requirements regarding independent contractor status. It's designed to protect both parties' interests by clearly establishing the nature of the relationship and key commercial terms, while maintaining flexibility for project-specific modifications.
