Document background
The Temporary To Permanent Employment Offer Letter is a strategic hiring document used by Canadian employers who wish to evaluate potential employees through an initial temporary period before converting them to permanent status. This approach is particularly valuable for organizations seeking to assess cultural fit, performance, and long-term potential while managing workforce risks. The document must comply with Canadian employment standards at both federal and provincial levels, including minimum wage requirements, working hours, overtime provisions, and notice periods. It typically includes detailed information about both employment phases, conversion criteria, compensation structures, benefits packages, and workplace policies. This type of offer letter is commonly used during business expansion, for project-based roles, or when organizations need flexibility in their staffing approach while offering potential long-term security to candidates.
