Document background
The Offer Letter Not Signed By Employer is a preliminary employment document used in the German market to initiate formal employment relationships. It serves as a written proposal of employment terms from an employer to a potential employee, typically issued after successful interview processes and internal approvals but before final contract signing. The document must comply with German employment law requirements, including the Nachweisgesetz (Documentation Act), which mandates specific employment terms to be documented. While not yet legally binding as an employment contract, it sets clear expectations regarding the proposed working relationship and provides a basis for final negotiations. This format is commonly used across industries to ensure transparency and compliance with German labor regulations while maintaining flexibility for both parties to finalize terms.
