Document background
The Job Appointment Letter serves as a crucial document in Nigerian employment relationships, forming the foundation of the formal employer-employee contract. It is typically issued after successful recruitment negotiations and before the commencement of employment. The document must comply with Nigerian labor laws, including the Labour Act, Pension Reform Act, and Employee's Compensation Act, among others. The appointment letter should clearly articulate the terms of employment, including compensation, benefits, duties, and obligations of both parties. It's essential for establishing clear expectations and protecting both employer and employee interests while ensuring compliance with local employment regulations.
