What are the benefits of a Letter to Amend Employment?

A Letter to Amend Employment can be useful to modify or update to the terms of an existing employment contract, without having to create an entirely new contract.

A letter to amend employment is a valuable tool for both employers and employees, as it helps to ensure that both parties are aware of any changes to the employment relationship by:

• Outlining the changes being made to the employee's terms of employment, the letter provides clarity and helps to avoid misunderstandings about the employee's role and responsibilities.

• Establishing as a written record of the changes being made, which can be important in the event of a dispute.
