Document background
The Job Offer Letter of Intent is a crucial document in the Irish employment process, typically used after successful job interviews and before issuing a formal employment contract. It serves to document the employer's intention to hire a candidate and outlines the fundamental terms of employment, providing clarity and certainty for both parties while maintaining some flexibility for final contract negotiations. The document must comply with Irish employment law, particularly the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994-2014, and includes essential information such as job title, salary, working hours, and any conditions precedent to employment. While not as detailed as a full employment contract, this letter creates a foundation for the employment relationship and helps ensure transparency in the hiring process.
