Document background
The Job Approval Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian employment practice, typically issued after successful completion of the recruitment process and before the commencement of employment. It serves as the initial formal documentation of the employment relationship, outlining key terms and conditions in compliance with Nigerian labour laws. This document is essential for both employers and employees as it provides clear written evidence of the employment offer and its acceptance. The letter should incorporate relevant provisions from the Nigerian Labour Act and other applicable employment legislation, ensuring all mandatory employment terms are addressed. While less detailed than a full employment contract, the Job Approval Letter must still include all essential employment terms and conditions, making it a legally significant document in establishing the employment relationship.
