Job Offer Letter Template
Our Job Offer Letter Template is suitable for use when making an offer of employment to either a full time or part time employee that will be working in a permanent or temporary position of employment.
The Job Offer Letter does not constitute a contract of employment with the employee even though it will usually contain a summary of all of the key terms of employment. The Job Offer Letter confirms the offer of employment and the basic terms. As an employer you then have a period of two months within which you must provide a full statement of terms to the employee in the form of a contract of employment. You can use our Contract of Employment template for this.
From customer feedback we know that some customers look to modify and extend the Job Offer Letter Template and use it as a base template for a Contract of Employment. With sufficient drafting skill this can be done. However, they really are two different agreements. Mistakes can happen if the Job Offer Letter is turned into a Contract of Employment and the drafter is not sufficiently experienced in legal drafting.
Even small details that are not handled properly could be questioned at a later date if any problem or issue arises with the employee.
A Job Offer Letter is more of a business letter than anything else. Our template Job Offer Letter has been drafted by a Solicitor to make sure that it is legally reliable but has also been edited by a Human Resources advisor to make sure that it is user friendly and sets the right tone with your potential future employee.
You can get a good idea of the look, feel and content of our Job Offer Letter Template by using the "preview" button at the top of this page to the left of the summary of the letter. The body of the Job Offer Letter Template discusses such things as the name of the person to whom the letter was sent, the title if any of the job offer, the base salary, if bonuses will be offered and, the terms of the bonuses together with leaving space for you to add any other things that may have been discussed during the interview phase.
Make sure that the new employee is aware of any drug testing policy, background check requirements or medical checks that need to be performed before a Contract of Employment can be signed. Such matters should be dealt with in the Job Offer Letter.
