Document background
The Intent Offer Letter is commonly used in Singapore's employment landscape as an initial step in the hiring process, preceding the formal employment contract. It provides candidates with essential information about the proposed role while allowing employers to maintain flexibility before final employment terms are agreed upon. The document typically includes position details, basic compensation structure, proposed start date, and any conditional requirements. Under Singapore law, while the Intent Offer Letter itself may not constitute a binding employment contract, certain commitments made within it could create legal obligations. This document is particularly useful when organizations need to demonstrate formal interest in a candidate while maintaining room for negotiation or when certain pre-employment conditions need to be met.
