Document background
The Employment Acceptance Letter is a crucial document in the Irish employment process, typically issued after a job offer has been made and accepted, but before the commencement of employment. This document serves as the employee's formal confirmation of accepting the position and acknowledging the terms of employment. Under Irish law, particularly the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts 1994-2014, employers must provide employees with specific written information about their employment terms. The Employment Acceptance Letter often serves as a preliminary document, followed by a more detailed employment contract, and is used across all industry sectors and employment levels. It helps establish clear communication between employer and employee regarding the fundamental aspects of the employment relationship, including position, compensation, start date, and key terms.
