Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an Employment Offer Letter and an Employment Agreement?Employment Offer Letter is an offer of employment given to mid to low level employees. It contains the key terms and conditions of employment in a brief letter. It can be accepted (signed) by the employee and then returned to the employer. Once the Offer Letter is accepted the terms and conditions are binding on both parties.

Employment Agreement is an agreement between an employer and employee specifying the rights and obligations of each party. The Employment Agreement is generally used for more senior level employees where the terms and conditions are more complex.
