Document background
The Certificate of Employment Termination is a crucial document in Hong Kong's employment landscape, designed to formally document the conclusion of an employment relationship. This certificate is required in accordance with Hong Kong employment law and best practices, providing formal verification of employment termination for both employer and employee records. It serves multiple purposes, including supporting future job applications, visa processes, and maintaining clear employment records. The document typically includes essential information such as employment duration, final position, termination date, and may also cover details about final settlements and benefit arrangements. While not mandated by the Employment Ordinance, it is considered a standard business practice in Hong Kong and helps protect both parties' interests by providing clear documentation of the employment termination.
