Document background
The At Will Employment Offer Letter, while common in US jurisdictions, requires significant modification for use in England and Wales due to different employment law frameworks. This document serves as the initial formal agreement between employer and employee, establishing the fundamental terms of employment. It must comply with the Employment Rights Act 1996 and other relevant UK legislation, providing statutory protections and notice periods. The letter typically includes essential information about the role, compensation, working hours, holiday entitlement, and other key terms of employment. It's important to note that unlike US at-will employment, UK employment law provides significant employee protections that cannot be contracted out of.
