Document background
The Offer of Employment Contract is a crucial document used when formally extending employment opportunities to prospective employees in Nigeria. It serves as the foundational document that establishes the employer-employee relationship and must comply with Nigerian labor laws, including the Labour Act, Pension Reform Act, and Employee's Compensation Act. This contract should be used prior to the commencement of employment to clearly document the terms of employment, including position, compensation, benefits, working hours, and other conditions. The document provides legal protection for both parties and helps prevent future disputes by clearly outlining expectations and obligations. For multinational companies operating in Nigeria, the contract must be tailored to meet local legal requirements while maintaining corporate standards.
