Document background
The Informal Job Offer Letter is commonly used as the first formal step in the hiring process under English and Welsh law. It serves to document the initial agreement between employer and candidate, typically following successful interviews and negotiations. While not as detailed as a formal employment contract, it should include essential terms of employment such as position, salary, start date, and any conditions precedent. The document helps establish clear expectations and demonstrates compliance with UK employment legislation, while maintaining flexibility before the formal contract stage.
