Cover Letter

http://www.ers.govt.nz/relationships/letters.asp

Set out below are customisable examples of covering letters that employers can use when sending out an offer of employment. The approach an employer should take depends on:

1. whether there is a relevant collective agreement already in place which covers the type of work the employee will perform, and
2. whether or not the successful applicant is a member of a union that is a party to that collective agreement.
