Document background
The Conditional Letter of Employment is a crucial document in New Zealand's employment process, used when an organization wishes to make a formal job offer subject to specific conditions being met. This document type is particularly relevant when hiring requires verification of qualifications, reference checks, background screening, work visa approval, or other pre-employment conditions. The letter must comply with New Zealand employment legislation, including the Employment Relations Act 2000 and related employment laws. It serves as a bridge between the recruitment process and formal employment, providing clear documentation of the conditional offer while protecting both employer and potential employee interests. The document typically precedes the formal employment agreement and should clearly state all conditions that must be satisfied before employment can commence.
