The Basic Appointment Letter is a crucial employment document used in Ireland when hiring new employees or formalizing existing employment relationships. It serves as the primary document outlining the fundamental terms and conditions of employment, ensuring compliance with Irish employment legislation, particularly the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994-2014. This document should be issued within two months of the employment start date and includes essential information such as parties' details, job responsibilities, compensation, working hours, and other statutory requirements. The Basic Appointment Letter is designed to be adaptable across various industries and role levels while maintaining legal compliance and providing clear communication of employment terms.
