The Staff Confirmation Letter is a critical employment document used in Nigerian business practice when an employee successfully completes their probationary period and is confirmed as a permanent staff member. This document is typically issued after evaluating the employee's performance during probation and deciding to offer permanent employment. The letter serves multiple purposes: it formally confirms the employment status, documents any changes in terms and conditions, outlines benefits associated with permanent status, and provides a reference point for the employment relationship. It must comply with Nigerian labour laws and often references the original employment contract. The Staff Confirmation Letter is an important legal document that forms part of the employee's permanent record and can be crucial in employment disputes or clarifications about terms of service.
