Document background
The Agreement of Engagement is a fundamental document used in Hong Kong to formalize employment relationships across various industries and organizational levels. This agreement is particularly important in Hong Kong's business environment, where clear documentation of employment terms is essential for compliance with local employment laws and regulations. The document incorporates mandatory provisions required by the Employment Ordinance while allowing flexibility to address specific employment arrangements. It serves as the primary reference point for both employer and employee regarding their rights, obligations, and expectations throughout the employment relationship, and is typically used when hiring new employees or formalizing existing employment arrangements.
