In an offer letter, one of the initial items is an acknowledgment of confidential information. This is because the letter typically includes personal identifying details such as name, address, and phone number, along with privileged information about the job and the hiring company.
Some important details about an offer letter are: It is NOT a legally binding contract. It does NOT include promises of future employment or wages.
An employment letter contains a revised version of the offer letter as well as the employer's signature, stamp, and conditions for retention and termination. If the employer doesn't sign the letter, it is not legally binding.
What is included in an offer letter? A job offer letter provides an overview of the job position and company as well as specific job details such as the start rate, remuneration, work schedule, benefits, and more.
It will include the job title and description, compensation and benefits package, bonus structure, vacation, holidays, leave policy, and start date. Generally, it will also state that employment is at-will and may provide a mechanism for resolving employment disputes such as arbitration.
Don't make promises. Avoid making any promises or statements that can be construed as promises related to the length or permanency of the employment relationship. Clearly indicate in the offer that the individual—if they accept—will be an at-will employee and any offer letter doesn't constitute an employment contract.
In the event you need to rescind a job offer, you should accompany a phone call with a notice in writing. While a properly worded offer letter should clearly state that it is not a contract, a formal notice acts as an official record and a deterrent against any legal action.
Here are some effective ways to request this information: ``Thank you so much for the job offer, I'm very excited about the opportunity. Before I accept, I'd like to discuss the compensation details. Could you please provide the specifics of the salary range, benefits, and any other monetary components of the offer?''
“I am excited about the opportunity to start on Start Date. Could you please send me the formal, written offer that includes the salary, benefits, and expected start date? I'm available at any time if further information is needed.”
