Document background
The Letter of Suspension from Work is a crucial document in Hong Kong's employment landscape, used when an employer needs to temporarily remove an employee from their workplace duties while maintaining the employment relationship. This document is typically utilized during internal investigations, serious workplace incidents, or when operational circumstances require temporary removal from duties. It must comply with Hong Kong's Employment Ordinance and related employment legislation, ensuring procedural fairness and clear communication of terms. The letter should detail the suspension's duration, effect on compensation, company property handling, and conduct expectations during the suspension period. It serves as both a legal record and a communication tool, protecting the interests of all parties involved while ensuring compliance with local employment laws and regulations.
