The Job Confirmation Letter is a crucial document in New Zealand's employment process, typically issued after a verbal offer has been accepted but before the commencement of employment. It serves as an interim document between the initial offer and a full employment agreement, providing written confirmation of the key terms and conditions of employment. This document must comply with New Zealand employment legislation, particularly the Employment Relations Act 2000, and includes essential information such as position details, start date, remuneration, hours of work, and basic entitlements. While less comprehensive than a full employment agreement, the Job Confirmation Letter holds significant legal weight and forms part of the employment record. It's particularly useful for providing clarity and certainty to both parties during the hiring process and can serve as a reference point for the preparation of the formal employment agreement.
