Document background
The Offer Letter and Employment Agreement serves as a fundamental document in establishing the employer-employee relationship under Pakistani law. It is typically used when making formal employment offers to new hires or when documenting changed terms for existing employees. The document combines an initial offer letter that outlines key employment terms with a comprehensive employment agreement that details the full scope of the employment relationship. It must comply with various Pakistani labor laws, including the Industrial and Commercial Employment Standing Orders Ordinance 1968, Minimum Wages Ordinance 1961, and other relevant employment legislation. The document includes essential information such as job responsibilities, compensation, benefits, working hours, leave entitlements, and termination provisions, while also addressing modern employment considerations such as confidentiality, intellectual property rights, and non-competition obligations.
