Document background
The Position Acceptance Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian employment practice that formalizes an employee's acceptance of a job offer and the associated terms and conditions. It is typically used after a verbal or written job offer has been made and before the commencement of employment, serving as an interim document before the full employment contract is signed. The document should comply with Nigerian labour laws, particularly the Labour Act Cap L1 LFN 2004, and includes essential information such as position details, compensation, start date, and basic terms of employment. This document is particularly important in establishing clear communication and mutual understanding between the employer and employee, while also providing documentary evidence of the agreed-upon terms for future reference.
