Document background
The Offer Of Employment Contract is a fundamental document used when establishing a new employment relationship under German law. It serves as both a formal offer of employment and, once accepted, the binding employment contract. This document must comply with various German employment laws, including the Nachweisgesetz (Evidence Act), which requires written documentation of essential employment terms. It should be prepared before the employee's start date and includes mandatory provisions such as working hours, remuneration, leave entitlements, and notice periods. The contract forms the legal basis for the employment relationship and should be customized to reflect specific role requirements while maintaining compliance with German labor regulations. It's typically used for both fixed-term and permanent employment relationships and can be adapted for various seniority levels and industry sectors.
