The Exit Agreement serves as a crucial document in Hong Kong employment relationships, typically used when employment is terminated by mutual agreement or as part of a negotiated departure. This document is essential for protecting both employer and employee interests by clearly defining the terms of separation, including financial settlements, continuing obligations, and mutual releases. The agreement must comply with Hong Kong employment law, including the Employment Ordinance and related legislation. Exit Agreements are particularly important in situations involving senior executives, sensitive positions, or where there are complex compensation arrangements, intellectual property concerns, or post-employment restrictions. The document helps prevent future disputes by providing a clear record of the agreed terms and ensuring all statutory and contractual obligations are properly addressed.
