Document background
The Probation Period Termination Notice is a crucial document used when an employer in Hong Kong decides to end an employment relationship during the probationary period. This document must be prepared in accordance with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57), which stipulates specific requirements for probationary employment termination, including different notice periods for the first month versus subsequent months of probation. The notice serves multiple purposes: it formally communicates the termination decision, specifies the last working day, outlines any notice period or payment in lieu of notice, details final payment arrangements, and addresses the return of company property. This document is essential for ensuring legal compliance and maintaining clear records of the employment termination process.
