Document background
The Offer of Employment letter is a crucial document used when an employer wishes to formally extend an employment opportunity to a selected candidate in Australia. It serves as the initial contract that establishes the employment relationship and must align with Australian employment legislation, particularly the Fair Work Act 2009 and National Employment Standards. This document is typically issued after successful completion of the recruitment process and before the commencement of employment. It includes essential information such as job details, compensation, benefits, working conditions, and employment terms. The Offer of Employment should be drafted to be clear, comprehensive, and compliant with relevant industry awards and enterprise agreements while protecting both employer and employee interests.
