The Contractor Engagement Letter is a fundamental document used in Hong Kong business practices when engaging independent contractors for specific projects or services. It serves as a formal written agreement that clearly establishes the nature of the relationship, distinguishing it from employment while complying with Hong Kong's legal framework. This document is essential for businesses seeking to engage contractors while managing legal risks and ensuring clear understanding of terms. The letter typically includes detailed provisions about the scope of work, payment terms, confidentiality, intellectual property rights, and termination conditions. It's particularly important in Hong Kong's dynamic business environment where flexible workforce arrangements are common across various industries.
