Document background
The Offer Letter With Probationary Period is a crucial document used when extending formal employment offers to new hires in Nigeria. It serves as the primary document establishing the initial employment relationship while incorporating a probationary period as permitted under Nigerian labor law. This document is typically used at the final stage of the recruitment process, after successful candidate selection but before employment commencement. It combines elements of a standard offer letter with specific provisions regarding the probationary period, which typically ranges from 3 to 6 months under Nigerian practice. The document must comply with the Nigerian Labour Act and other relevant employment legislation, making it essential for establishing clear terms of employment, evaluation criteria, and conditions for permanent confirmation.
