Document background
The Preliminary Offer Letter is typically used as the first formal step in the hiring process under Singapore employment law. It serves to document the initial employment terms and conditions before proceeding to a full employment contract. This document typically includes essential information such as job title, compensation package, start date, and any conditions that need to be met before formal employment begins. The Preliminary Offer Letter must comply with Singapore's Employment Act and related employment legislation, including the Fair Consideration Framework and Tripartite Guidelines. It is particularly important in situations where additional steps (such as background checks, work passes, or medical examinations) are required before finalizing employment.
