Document background
The Conditional Offer Letter is a crucial document in the New Zealand employment process, serving as an intermediate step between candidate selection and formal employment. It is typically used when an organization wishes to express its intent to hire while ensuring certain prerequisites are met. The document must comply with New Zealand employment legislation, including the Employment Relations Act 2000, Human Rights Act 1993, and Privacy Act 2020. A Conditional Offer Letter includes essential employment terms, conditions precedent that must be satisfied, and often refers to future formal employment agreements. It protects both employer and potential employee by clearly documenting the conditions that must be met before the employment relationship can commence, while providing a framework for the proposed employment relationship.
