Document background
The Job Offer and Contract is a fundamental document used when establishing formal employment relationships in the Philippines. This document type combines the initial employment offer with the formal contract terms, streamlining the hiring process while ensuring compliance with Philippine labor legislation. It should be used when hiring new employees, whether for permanent, fixed-term, or project-based positions, and must incorporate all mandatory provisions required by the Philippine Labor Code, including probationary periods, statutory benefits, and working conditions. The document serves multiple purposes: it confirms the offer of employment, specifies the terms and conditions, and, once signed, becomes the legally binding employment contract between the parties. This format is particularly efficient as it eliminates the need for separate offer letters and employment contracts, while ensuring all necessary legal and practical aspects of the employment relationship are properly documented.
