Document background
The Letter Of Appointment With Supporting Confirmation is a standard employment documentation format used in the German market to formalize employment relationships. It combines a detailed appointment letter outlining all essential terms of employment with a separate confirmation document that the employee signs to accept the position. This format is particularly useful when making formal employment offers that need to comply with German labor law requirements, specifically the Nachweisgesetz (Documentation Act). The document is typically used for new hires, internal promotions, or role changes where a formal documentation of employment terms is required. It includes all mandatory employment information required under German law, such as position details, compensation, working hours, leave entitlements, and notice periods, while also allowing for the inclusion of company-specific terms and conditions.
