Document background
The Offer of Appointment is a crucial document in Hong Kong's employment process, serving as the formal written offer of employment from an employer to a prospective employee. It is typically issued after successful completion of the recruitment process and before the commencement of employment. The document must comply with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance and related employment legislation, incorporating mandatory provisions while allowing for company-specific terms. An Offer of Appointment typically includes essential information such as job title, compensation, benefits, working hours, and other employment terms, forming the basis for the subsequent employment relationship. This document is particularly important in Hong Kong's business environment, where written employment terms are legally required and form the foundation of employer-employee relations.
