Document background
The Offer Of Employment document is a crucial legal instrument used when extending formal employment opportunities to prospective employees in Ireland. It must comply with Irish employment legislation, particularly the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994-2014, which mandate specific information to be provided to employees within defined timeframes. This document serves multiple purposes: it confirms the intent to employ, outlines the terms and conditions of employment, and provides a framework for the employment relationship. The offer letter should be issued after successful completion of the recruitment process but before the commencement of employment, allowing the prospective employee to review and accept the terms. Once accepted, it becomes a legally binding employment contract that protects both parties' interests.
