Document background
The Provisional Appointment Letter is a standard employment document used in Nigerian business practice when initiating new employment relationships. It serves as an interim agreement between employers and potential employees, establishing a trial period during which both parties can evaluate the employment fit. This document, compliant with Nigerian Labour Law, typically precedes a permanent employment contract and is used across various industries and organizational levels. The Provisional Appointment Letter includes crucial information such as job responsibilities, compensation, working conditions, and the terms under which the employment may be confirmed as permanent or terminated. It provides legal protection for both parties during the provisional period while allowing for assessment of employee performance and organizational fit before long-term commitment.
