Document background
The Job Approval Letter is a crucial document in the Irish employment process, serving as the formal bridge between recruitment and employment commencement. It must comply with Irish employment law, particularly the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994-2014, the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015, and relevant data protection legislation. This document is typically used following successful recruitment negotiations and prior to employment commencement, containing all legally required employment terms while maintaining a professional and welcoming tone. The Job Approval Letter includes essential information such as position details, compensation, working arrangements, and benefits, while also referencing any conditions of employment such as background checks or work permit requirements. It forms part of the employment contract documentation and should be retained for the duration of employment.
