Document background
A Retirement Letter is a crucial document in Hong Kong's employment context, used when an employee decides to formally end their employment relationship through retirement. The document must comply with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and related employment legislation, including the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance. It typically includes the intended retirement date, acknowledgment of service period, arrangements for final payments and benefits, and handover procedures. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notification of retirement intention, documents the agreed terms of retirement, ensures proper processing of retirement benefits, and helps maintain clear records for both employer and employee. This document is particularly important in Hong Kong's business environment, where formal documentation of employment matters is highly valued and necessary for regulatory compliance.
