Document background
The Appointment Letter For Part Time Job is a crucial document in South African employment law, designed to formalize part-time employment relationships while ensuring compliance with local labor legislation, particularly the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997. This document should be used whenever engaging part-time employees, defined as those working fewer hours than full-time employees in the same role. The letter includes essential information such as working hours, remuneration, leave entitlements, and other terms of employment, tailored specifically for part-time arrangements. It serves both as a formal offer of employment and, once signed, as a binding employment contract that protects both employer and employee rights under South African law.
