Document background
The Temporary Job Offer Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian employment practice, used when organizations need to hire staff for a fixed duration or specific project. This document serves as both an offer of employment and, upon acceptance, an initial employment contract. It must comply with Nigerian labor laws, particularly the Labour Act Chapter 198, and should clearly articulate the temporary nature of the employment relationship. The letter typically includes essential information such as position details, duration of employment, compensation, benefits, working hours, and other terms and conditions. It's commonly used for project-based work, seasonal employment, temporary replacements, or when organizations need additional workforce for a specific period. The document protects both employer and employee by clearly defining the parameters of the temporary employment relationship.
