Document background
The Informal Job Offer is typically used in New Zealand as the first written step in formalizing an employment relationship, following successful interviews and negotiations. It serves as a preliminary document that precedes the formal employment agreement, providing key information about the position and main terms of employment while maintaining a conversational and welcoming tone. This document needs to comply with New Zealand employment legislation while being less formal than a full employment agreement. It's particularly useful for maintaining hiring momentum and confirming basic terms before preparing detailed employment documentation. The informal job offer should include essential information required by New Zealand law while leaving more detailed terms for the subsequent employment agreement.
