Document background
The Job Offer Letter is a crucial document in the Nigerian employment process, serving as the initial formal agreement between an employer and a prospective employee. It is typically issued after successful completion of the recruitment process and before the commencement of employment. The document must comply with Nigerian Labour Law requirements and includes essential information such as job title, compensation, benefits, working hours, and other employment terms. The Job Offer Letter forms the foundation of the employment relationship and may be referenced in future employment matters or disputes. While not as detailed as a full employment contract, it should contain sufficient information to clearly establish the basic terms of employment and any conditions that must be met before employment begins.
