Document background
The Job Acceptance Letter is a crucial document in the Belgian employment process, typically used after a successful job negotiation and before the issuance of a comprehensive employment contract. It serves as written evidence of the mutual agreement between employer and employee regarding the fundamental terms of employment. Under Belgian law, this document needs to comply with specific regional language requirements and must include certain mandatory employment terms. While the Job Acceptance Letter is not a substitute for the formal employment contract, it provides immediate confirmation of the key terms agreed upon and helps ensure clarity and certainty for both parties during the pre-employment phase. It's particularly important in Belgium where employment relationships are heavily regulated and documentation requirements are strict.
