Document background
The Employment Appointment Letter is a essential document used in Australian employment relationships to formalize the offer of employment and document the agreed terms and conditions. It serves as the primary employment contract document for new hires or internal promotions, ensuring compliance with Australian employment legislation, including the Fair Work Act 2009, relevant state laws, and National Employment Standards. The letter should be issued after verbal agreement of employment terms but before the employee's start date, containing all crucial information about the role, compensation, benefits, and working conditions. This document forms the foundation of the employment relationship and can be referenced throughout the employment tenure for clarity on agreed terms.
