Document background
The Offer of Appointment is a crucial preliminary employment document used in the Philippine business environment to formally extend employment opportunities to selected candidates. This document serves as the initial step in establishing an employer-employee relationship and must strictly comply with the Philippine Labor Code, DOLE regulations, and other relevant employment laws. It is typically issued after successful completion of the recruitment process and before the formal employment contract. The Offer of Appointment should clearly state all essential terms of employment, including compensation, benefits, and working conditions, while ensuring alignment with both statutory requirements and company policies. It provides the foundation for the employment relationship and, once accepted, creates binding obligations on both parties under Philippine law.
