Document background
The Conditional Offer of Employment is a critical document in New Zealand's employment process, used when an employer wishes to offer a position to a candidate subject to certain conditions being fulfilled. This document is particularly important in situations involving international hires requiring visa approval, roles requiring specific certifications or background checks, or positions subject to reference verification. It helps organizations manage risk in the hiring process while providing clarity to prospective employees about what is required before their employment can be confirmed. The document must comply with New Zealand employment legislation, including the Employment Relations Act 2000, Human Rights Act 1993, and Privacy Act 2020, while clearly communicating all conditions that must be met before the employment relationship can commence.
