Document background
The Contractor Offer Letter is a crucial document used in Nigeria when a company wishes to formally engage an independent contractor for professional services. It serves as the initial formal documentation of the contractor relationship, outlining key terms while ensuring compliance with Nigerian law. This document is particularly important as it helps establish clear boundaries between contractor and employment relationships, which is essential for proper classification under Nigerian labor law. The letter typically includes detailed information about the services to be provided, compensation terms, duration of engagement, and other key provisions. Companies should use this document whenever engaging independent contractors to ensure clear communication of terms and proper documentation of the relationship structure.
