Document background
The Confirmation of Promotion Letter is a crucial employment document used when an organization wishes to formally promote an existing employee to a new position. It serves as both a congratulatory document and a legal record of the changed employment terms. Under English and Welsh law, this document should clearly outline all material changes to the employment relationship, including new responsibilities, reporting lines, compensation, and benefits. The letter forms part of the employee's employment contract and should be retained for legal and HR purposes. Best practice suggests issuing this document before the promotion takes effect to ensure clear communication and formal acceptance of the new terms.
