Employment Offer Letter Templates
An employment offer letter is a formal written document from an employer to a prospective employee that confirms the offer of a job. It sets out the basic terms and conditions of the proposed employment and provides key information about the role.
As it is the starting point in the contractual relationship between employer and employee, it is essential that the employment offer letter accurately reflects the terms of the contract of employment. Each employment offer letter is matched with a relevant contract, and common practice is to issue the contract of employment with the offer letter.
To view the matching range of employment agreements, see the Contract of Employment Templates.
What should an employment offer letter include?
Each employment offer letter sets down the terms of the offer of employment to the candidate and should include the job title, the terms of the offer, details of any probationary period and whether or not the offer is conditional upon, say, satisfactory references. Offer letters help to avoid a dispute about the terms of the role.
Some employers may request potential employees to complete medical questionnaires. If so, these should not be sent out until an offer of employment is made. Where required, use the Medical Questionnaire Short-Form or the Medical Questionnaire Long-Form.
