Document background
The Staff Confirmation Letter is a crucial document in Hong Kong's employment framework, typically issued following the successful completion of an employee's probation period. It serves multiple purposes: formally documenting the transition to permanent employment status, confirming or updating employment terms, and establishing new benefits or entitlements. The letter should comply with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance (Cap. 57) and other relevant employment legislation. While not strictly required by law, the Staff Confirmation Letter is standard business practice in Hong Kong and provides important documentation of the employment relationship's evolution. It protects both employer and employee by clearly establishing the terms of continued employment and helps prevent future disputes about employment status or terms.
