Document background
The Temporary to Permanent Position Offer Letter is a crucial document used in New Zealand employment contexts when organizations wish to establish an initial temporary employment relationship with the intention of converting it to a permanent position, subject to specific conditions. This approach allows employers to evaluate candidate suitability while providing clear pathways to permanent employment for prospective employees. The document must comply with New Zealand employment legislation, particularly the Employment Relations Act 2000, and typically includes detailed terms for both the temporary and permanent phases, performance expectations, conversion criteria, and standard employment conditions. It's commonly used for roles where a trial period is beneficial or when organizations need flexibility in workforce planning while offering potential long-term security to candidates.
