The Confirmation Letter For Teachers is a mandatory document in German educational institutions, required under the Nachweisgesetz (Documentation Act) and various state education laws. It serves as official documentation of the employment relationship between educational institutions and teaching staff, whether they are civil servants or public employees. This document is typically issued after the initial employment contract and provides detailed confirmation of essential employment terms, including teaching responsibilities, salary classification, working hours, and applicable collective agreements. It's particularly important in the German education system where teachers may have different status (civil servant or public employee) and where education is regulated at the state level. The letter needs to comply with both federal employment law requirements and specific state (Bundesland) regulations governing education and teacher employment.
