Document background
A Formal Job Offer Letter is a crucial document in Singapore's employment process, serving as the initial contract between employer and employee. It establishes the foundation of the employment relationship and must comply with Singapore's Employment Act and related legislation. The letter should be issued after verbal agreement on key terms but before the employee starts work. It typically includes comprehensive details about the position, compensation, benefits, working conditions, and other terms of employment. This document is particularly important as it serves both as a formal offer and, once accepted, as a binding employment contract under Singapore law.
