Document background
The Job Offer Application Letter is a crucial document in the Nigerian employment process, serving as the formal written offer of employment from an employer to a selected candidate. This document is typically issued after successful completion of the recruitment process and before the commencement of employment. It must comply with Nigerian labor laws, including the Labour Act and related employment legislation, while clearly articulating the terms and conditions of employment. The letter should include essential information such as job title, salary, benefits, working hours, start date, and any special conditions of employment. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the formal job offer, outlining employment terms, ensuring legal compliance, and providing a basis for the future employment relationship. The document is designed to protect both employer and employee interests while establishing clear expectations for the employment arrangement.
