What should be included in a letter sent to a new member of staff.

by DamiPatel last modified Jul 30, 2010 12:12 AM

An offer letter accompanies the contract and should have the basic details such as:

  • the date and time that the person is due to commence employment
  • state that the offer is conditional upon satisfactory references
  • who the person should report to on the first day
  • rate of pay
  • the number of hours the person is contracted to work
  • request that the person bring evidence of the right to work in the UK if they haven’t provided prior to their first day.

Have your say

Do you have an offer letter template that you would be willing to share? Do you have an example of a poor offer letter?
