Document background
The Job Proposal Letter is a crucial document in the hiring process, typically issued after successful completion of interviews and negotiations. It serves as the formal written offer of employment, preceding the more detailed employment contract in Hong Kong's employment framework. This document should be drafted in compliance with Hong Kong employment laws, particularly the Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57), and should clearly outline key employment terms including position, compensation, benefits, and working arrangements. While not the final employment contract, the Job Proposal Letter creates certain legal obligations and expectations, making it essential to include all material terms while maintaining a professional and welcoming tone. It's commonly used when extending offers to new hires across all organizational levels, from entry-level positions to senior executives.
