Document background
The Severance Package Letter is a crucial document used in Hong Kong employment terminations where an employee is entitled to receive statutory severance pay under the Employment Ordinance. It is typically issued when an employee has been made redundant or laid off after serving at least 24 months with the employer. The document must comply with Hong Kong's strict employment laws, particularly regarding severance calculations, notice periods, and mandatory benefits. This letter serves multiple purposes: it confirms the termination details, outlines all financial entitlements, addresses benefit arrangements, and establishes a clear record of the separation terms. The document should be drafted with careful attention to both statutory requirements and any additional company policies or contractual obligations.
