Document background
The Company Rejection Letter is an essential business document used in the South African employment context to formally communicate negative hiring decisions to job applicants. It plays a crucial role in maintaining professional relationships and protecting the organization's reputation while ensuring compliance with South African labor laws, including the Employment Equity Act, Labour Relations Act, and POPIA. This document should be used whenever a decision is made not to proceed with a candidate's application, whether after initial application review, interviews, or assessments. The letter typically includes appreciation for the candidate's interest, a clear communication of the decision, and may optionally include constructive feedback or information about future opportunities, depending on the circumstances.
