Document background
The Temporary Job Offer Letter is a crucial document in New Zealand's employment framework, used when organizations need to hire staff for a fixed term with a genuine reason for the temporary nature of the employment. This document serves as the first formal step in establishing a fixed-term employment relationship and must comply with New Zealand's Employment Relations Act 2000 and related employment legislation. The letter typically precedes a more detailed employment agreement and is used for situations such as seasonal work, project-based assignments, parental leave coverage, or other temporary staffing needs. It must clearly state the reason for the fixed term, the duration of employment, and all key terms and conditions as required by New Zealand law.
