Document background
The Temporary Employment Offer Letter is a crucial document used by Canadian employers when hiring staff for fixed-term positions or specific project durations. It provides a formal written agreement that complies with Canadian employment standards and clearly communicates the temporary nature of the position. This document should be used whenever an organization needs to hire employees for a predetermined period, whether for seasonal work, project-based assignments, maternity leave coverage, or other temporary staffing needs. The letter typically includes essential information such as employment duration, compensation, benefits, working conditions, and termination provisions, all aligned with relevant federal and provincial employment legislation. It serves as a key reference point for both employer and employee throughout the temporary employment relationship and helps prevent misunderstandings about the position's fixed-term nature.
