An Employment Offer Letter provides evidence of the contractual agreement between an employer and their potential employee. It clearly outlines the terms and conditions of a job position so that both parties know what to expect. If you’re applying for a job and only receive a verbal offer from a potential employer, you can request the offer in writing. Explain that a written job offer will help you understand the details of the position and provide you with a reasonable timeline to send your response. Plus, if you accept the offer, you’ll have a record of the position’s terms and conditions. Refer back to this document if the terms in the Employment Contract differ greatly from the terms in the Employment Offer Letter.
