Document background
The Remote Work Offer Letter is designed for South African employers looking to hire employees on a remote work basis, whether fully remote or in a hybrid arrangement. This document has become increasingly important following the global shift toward remote work and the need to formalize such arrangements within the South African legal framework. It serves as the initial formal agreement between an employer and a prospective employee, outlining the terms of employment while specifically addressing the unique aspects of remote work arrangements. The letter ensures compliance with South African employment legislation, including the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, Protection of Personal Information Act, and Occupational Health and Safety Act, while establishing clear expectations regarding remote work policies, equipment provisions, and working arrangements.
