Disabled applicant. This letter of rejection is for someone who was in the final group from which the appointment was made but in the end someone else was offered the job and has accepted the position. Includes policy on Privacy Act and return/destroy application.
This letter of appointment is simply a covering letter calling attention to three distinct documents contained as appendices to this covering letter, the contract of employment, the code of conduct, and the job description. There is no need for a place for counter-signature by the new recruit on this style of letter of appointment, because this sign-off is done at the bottom of the contract of employment and the code of conduct, creating the legal relationship between employer and employee.
Disabled applicant. This letter of rejection is for someone who was not considered for an interview because (s)he was under-qualified for the position. It explains why minimum qualifications are important. Includes policy on Privacy Act and return/destroy application.
A separate deed of confidentiality, specifically designed for the employer and employee, to be signed at recruitment. This one allows execution even before employment (for those who are to reveal important information in the recruitment process (say, in second stage interviews)) but works even if this is not an aspect of this particular recruitment. Australian. NSW, Vic., ACT, WA, SA, NT.
In this letter of appointment the formal contract of employment has been re-written to sound more informal but it is still the same contract in letter style, with a place for counter-signature by the new recruit. This letter of appointment limits itself to issues related to the contract of employment because either (a) there is a separate code of conduct; or (b) the code of conduct considerations are considered to be unimportant (which is often the case in small to medium-sized Australian companies). The job description would be added to this letter/contract as an appendix.
This letter of rejection is for someone who was not in the final group from which the appointment was made. Includes policy on Privacy Act and return/destroy application.
This letter of appointment is not formally a contract but implies the existence of a contract and explains all the elements of the new relationship in easy to understand terms. This letter would usually be accompanied by whatever legal/organisational documents that do exist, such as the contract of employment, the code of conduct and the job description, but even if these do not exist this document implies them, and it may be necessary to defend them as if they did exist.
This letter of rejection is for someone who failed to lodge the application by the closure date. It returns the application in a manner that ensures compliance with Privacy Act (Cth).
THIS IS NOT A LETTER.
This letter of rejection is for someone who was not considered because (s)he was over-qualified for the position. NOTE: This will usually be picked up before an interview is proposed but if you failed to pick it up you can use this letter anyway, as the issues are the same. It explains why an over-qualified person cannot be appointed. Includes policy on Privacy Act and return/destroy application.
