Document background
An Official Job Offer is used when an employer wishes to formally extend employment terms to a selected candidate following successful recruitment procedures. The document serves as both a legal and practical necessity under English and Welsh law, providing clear documentation of the proposed employment relationship. It must include mandatory elements required by UK employment legislation while also protecting both parties' interests. This document typically precedes and forms the basis for a more detailed employment contract, though it carries legal weight in its own right. It should be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with current employment legislation and to clearly communicate all material terms of employment.
