An Offer Letter is a formal document in the field of human resources that details the particular terms and conditions of employment that a business provides to a potential employee. It usually includes the job title, pay, start date, working hours, benefits, and any other information pertinent to the employment agreement. This letter acts as an official record of the job offer, informing both the company and the potential employee of the position's expectations and duties.
