What Is an Employee Offer Letter?
An employee offer letter is a formal written document from an employer to a prospective employee setting out the principal terms and conditions of employment. It signals the employer's intent to hire and invites the candidate to accept the role on the stated terms. Once signed by both parties, the offer letter forms a legally binding employment contract and creates enforceable obligations on both sides.
In Singapore, the Employment Act (Cap. 91) is the primary statute governing employment relationships. Since 1 April 2016, all employers in Singapore are required to issue Key Employment Terms (KETs) in writing to all employees covered by the Act. A well-drafted offer letter satisfies this obligation by documenting salary, working hours, leave entitlements, notice periods and other statutory terms at the outset of the relationship.
Singapore employers must also consider work pass requirements when hiring foreign nationals. Professionals may require an Employment Pass (EP), mid-skilled workers may need an S Pass, and lower-skilled workers require a Work Permit — all administered by MOM. The offer letter should reflect the correct salary thresholds and conditions applicable to the relevant work pass category. For Singaporean and Permanent Resident employees, CPF contributions under the CPF Act (Cap. 36) are mandatory, with employer contributions of approximately 17% and employee contributions of 20% for employees below 55 years of age.

Legal Considerations
Singapore employment law is administered by MOM and enforced through the Employment Claims Tribunal. Employers should ensure every offer letter complies with the following statutory requirements.
This template is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. For advice tailored to your situation, consult a Singapore-qualified lawyer or the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
Reviewed for Singapore Law
Key Employment Terms (KETs) — Mandatory Since 2016
From 1 April 2016, all Singapore employers must provide KETs in writing to employees covered by the Employment Act. KETs must include the employee's full name, job scope, start date, salary amount and frequency, working hours, rest days, leave entitlements and the notice period. Failure to issue KETs can result in complaints to the Employment Claims Tribunal (ECT) or MOM and expose the employer to penalties. This template is structured to satisfy all MOM KET requirements in a single document.
Work Pass Compliance — MOM & Immigration Act
Employing a foreign national in Singapore without a valid work pass is a criminal offence under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act (Cap. 91A) and the Immigration Act. Offer letters for foreign employees should expressly state that the offer is conditional on obtaining the relevant MOM-issued pass (EP, S Pass or Work Permit) before the employee commences work. EP applicants must meet the current MOM qualifying salary threshold (S$5,000/month for most sectors). Employers bear responsibility for pass applications and associated levies.
CPF Obligations — CPF Act (Cap. 36)
Employers must make mandatory CPF contributions for all Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents earning more than S$50 per month. The combined contribution rate for employees below 55 is approximately 37% of ordinary wages (employer ~17%, employee ~20%), up to the ordinary wage ceiling of S$6,800 per month. Failure to pay CPF contributions is an offence under the CPF Act and may result in prosecution by the Central Provident Fund Board (CPFB). The offer letter should acknowledge this obligation where applicable.
Probation & Termination Rights
Singapore law does not impose a minimum probation period, but best practice is to state the period and conditions for confirmation clearly in writing. During probation, notice periods under Employment Act s 10 still apply unless a shorter period is contractually agreed. Employees covered by the Act who have been employed for at least 6 months may bring wrongful dismissal claims before the Employment Claims Tribunal. Employers should document performance concerns during probation to support any decision not to confirm an employee.
