Document background
The Provisional Offer of Employment is a critical document in New Zealand's employment process, typically used when an organization wishes to hire an individual subject to certain conditions being met. These conditions might include reference checks, background verification, work visa approval, or specific qualifications verification. The document serves as a bridge between initial selection and final employment, providing clear terms while protecting both employer and prospective employee interests. It must comply with New Zealand employment law, including the Employment Relations Act 2000, Holidays Act 2003, and other relevant legislation. The provisional nature of the offer allows organizations to proceed with the hiring process while ensuring all necessary checks and requirements are completed before final employment commences.
