The Employment Statement Letter is a mandatory document under Nigerian employment law, specifically required by Section 7 of the Labour Act. It must be issued within three months of employment commencement and serves as official documentation of the employment relationship. The letter should detail fundamental aspects of employment including position, salary, working hours, leave entitlements, and other key terms. While not as comprehensive as a full employment contract, the Employment Statement Letter provides essential protection for both employer and employee by clearly documenting the basic terms of employment. It's particularly important in the Nigerian context where formal documentation of employment terms is required for legal compliance and dispute resolution.
