An International Employment Confirmation Letter is a formal document sent to a selected candidate for employment. Such employment offer letters are usually written with careful precision as they contain an important list of elements negotiated and offered. The letter of employment often includes the details of employment, the start date, position, responsibilities and expectations, benefits and allowances as well as vacations.
Basics of employment confirmation letter
The International employment confirmation letter gives the employer the opportunity to outline the facts about the offer as well as relevant details about the company. Employment confirmation letters are important because once both parties sign them, the letter is considered a legal document and can be used to resolve disputes that may come up relating to employment terms. The employment confirmation letter can also help the expatriate decide whether or not she wants to accept the role. It is important for a letter of employment to be written concisely and clearly outlined.

The letter of employment should not promise financial earnings such as bonuses or raises, which may be conditions which cannot be met in the future. Before sending the International employment confirmation letter, it should be reviewed by the company’s legal department or a legal expert to review language or statements that could lead to potential lawsuits. It is also helpful if the l International employment confirmation letter can be scanned, printed, and signed electronically by the expatriate.
