The Offer Letter And Employment Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian employment relationships, typically used when extending formal employment offers to new employees or documenting changes in employment terms for existing staff. This document must comply with the Nigerian Labour Act and related employment legislation, including the Pension Reform Act 2014 and National Health Insurance Act 2021. It serves dual purposes: first as an offer of employment detailing the proposed terms, and upon acceptance, as a binding employment letter. The document should include all mandatory employment terms required by Nigerian law, such as compensation, work hours, leave entitlements, and statutory benefits, while also incorporating company-specific policies and requirements. It forms the foundation of the employment relationship and can be referenced in case of future disputes or clarifications regarding employment terms.
