Document background
The Offer Letter And Appointment Letter is a crucial employment document used in New Zealand to formally initiate employment relationships. It serves as the first step in establishing a formal employment agreement and must comply with New Zealand employment law, particularly the Employment Relations Act 2000. This document is typically used when extending a formal job offer to a selected candidate and subsequently confirming their appointment upon acceptance. The document includes essential employment terms such as position details, compensation, benefits, working hours, leave entitlements, and other conditions of employment. While not as detailed as a full employment agreement, the Offer Letter And Appointment Letter must still reflect all mandatory employment terms required by New Zealand law and serve as a clear communication of the employment relationship's key aspects.
