The Fixed Term Contract Offer Letter is a crucial employment document used when an organization wishes to hire an employee for a specific, limited duration in Ireland. It is commonly used for project-based roles, temporary replacements, seasonal work, or roles with specific funding periods. The document must comply with Irish employment law, particularly the Protection of Employees (Fixed-Term Work) Act 2003 and related legislation. It serves as the initial formal offer of employment and, upon acceptance, becomes a binding fixed-term employment contract. The letter should clearly state the temporary nature of the position, specific start and end dates, and all mandatory employment terms required by Irish law. This document is essential for ensuring transparency in the employment relationship and protecting both employer and employee interests while maintaining compliance with Irish employment legislation.
