MightyRecruiterIf your organization functions like most, the majority of work done in your office or facility will be conducted by “at-will” employees who are free to leave at any time and for any reason. Just as your at-will employees can walk away with no explanation and no notice, you’re free to terminate them with or without cause, as long as you haven’t let them go for illegal reasons, like discrimination or retaliation.
First things first though; draft and edit a job confirmation letter of employment email so you’ll be ready to grab your chosen contender before somebody else does.
As you draft your message, keep a few best practices in mind.
1. Your tone should be formal and straightforward, and your letter should be broken into short, readable sections rather than a large block of text.
2. You’ll need to include all available information that can inform the candidate’s decision, including the start date, a brief position description (or a link to a more lengthy description), salary and payment information, benefits, reporting structure, and company rules and policies. You’ll certainly need to include the contractual nature of the job (at-will or otherwise) and the employee’s exempt/non-exempt status.
3. You’ll also need to indicate next steps, including any forms or documents the employee will need to sign and return. After receiving and reading your job confirmation letter of employment email, your reader should be fully prepared for the next stage of the process.
