An offer letter is a letter or email sent to a candidate chosen at the end of the hiring process, extending an offer of employment. An offer letter can be an official or unofficial document and often includes information like salary/wage, a list of benefits, start date, etc.
No, an offer letter differs from an employment contract. While an offer letter is a formal, initial communication indicating a company's intent to hire and outlines basic job details, it is not as legally binding or detailed as an employment contract.
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.
We're excited to offer you the role of title at company name . We believe you're a great match for the full- or part-time title position. In this position, you will be expected to duties and responsibilities. You will start on start date and report directly to supervisor's name at workplace address.
The legal implications of signing an offer letter can vary based on jurisdiction but generally imply a mutual agreement to the terms outlined. This means, once signed, you are legally obligated to adhere to the conditions set forth, and failure to do so could result in legal repercussions.
DON'T include: Language that makes the letter sound like a contract. A place for the employee to sign the letter, which also makes it seem like a contract. Language that implies job security or longevity, such as “You'll be able to grow here” or “You will enjoy a long career here.”
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.
