Document background
The Contract Offer Letter is a crucial document in the Philippine employment process, typically issued after successful completion of the recruitment phase and before the commencement of employment. It serves as the initial formal documentation of the employment relationship, combining elements required by Philippine labor law with the company's specific employment terms. This document should be drafted in compliance with the Labor Code of the Philippines and related employment regulations, including mandatory benefits and working conditions. The Contract Offer Letter typically precedes more detailed employment contracts and is used to formally extend employment opportunities while clearly communicating key terms such as compensation, position, start date, and basic working conditions. It's particularly important in the Philippine context where employment terms must be clearly documented to ensure compliance with local labor laws and protect both employer and employee interests.
