Document background
The Salary Confirmation Letter is a crucial employment document used in Nigerian business practice to formally document and communicate an employee's compensation package. It serves multiple purposes: confirming the agreed-upon salary terms, documenting statutory deductions required under Nigerian law, and outlining additional benefits and allowances. This document is typically issued upon initial employment, following salary adjustments, or when required for third-party verification (such as visa applications or loan requests). The letter must comply with Nigerian employment legislation, including the Labour Act, National Minimum Wage Act, and various statutory contribution requirements. It forms part of the employee's official employment records and can be used as a reference document for both internal and external purposes.
