Young Worker Employment Offer Letter

The Young Worker Employment Offer Letter is for employers offering employment to school leavers aged 16 to 18.

It has been created to accompany the Young Worker Employment Contract.

Young worker employment offer details

The offer letter confirms the key terms of the proposed employment, including:

• job title;
• workplace;
• remuneration; and
• proposed start date.

Conditional offer, right to work and starter documents

The employment offer is subject to references which the employer considers satisfactory.

The letter also requires the employee to provide evidence of their legal right to work in the UK and asks new joiners to bring identity documents and their P45 when they start employment.

Salary review as the young worker gets older

The offer letter provides for the employee’s salary to be reviewed in line with their age.

This reflects the fact that the National Minimum Wage increases in line with the employee’s age and is reviewed every October.

Working time rules for young workers

The young worker employment documents are designed for employers taking on school leavers aged 16 to 18.

The Working Time Regulations 1998 make special provision for Young Workers, including the hours they can legally be asked to work and the times at which they can legally be asked to work.

Medical conditions, disabilities and reasonable adjustments

The offer letter asks employees to tell the employer about any medical conditions, allergies or disabilities they have.

This helps the employer consider whether any reasonable adjustments may be appropriate under the Equality Act 2010. The letter also confirms that any information provided will be treated confidentially.
