It makes it clear to the recipient that you want them to join your team, as well as what you\u2019re offering in return.<\/p>\n<p>An offer letter is not a contract. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/job-offer\/\">job offer<\/a> letter is an informal document that shows your interest in hiring the applicant and explains the basics of the position. While it is legally binding (if the recipient accepts it), it doesn&#8217;t have nearly the pull of a contract, and it\u2019s possible to rescind the offer under the right circumstances.<\/p>\n<div ckmz=\"zippia\">\n<div class=\"row\" onclick=\"location.href='\/employer\/?src=inlinePostAJob-12757';\" style=\"font-size: 14px;color: #333; background: #fff; width: 100%; border: 1px solid #d8dee2; border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px; padding: 20px; justify-content: space-between;box-shadow: 0 18px 20px -20px rgb(0 0 0 \/ 15%); margin:0px; cursor:pointer;\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-8 col-xs-12\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0); --vh: 12.87px;font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.42857143; color: #333; font-family: Open Sans,serif;font-style: normal; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<div style=\"display: inline-block;margin-top: 10px;font-weight: 600;font-size: 20px;\">Get Started Hiring Now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-xs-12\" style=\"font-weight: 600;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px; text-align: center; text-transform: capitalize; color: #fff; background: #ff6000; border-radius: 4px; height: 48px; border: none; font-family: Open Sans,serif; display: -webkit-flex; display: flex; -webkit-justify-content: center; justify-content: center; -webkit-align-items: center; align-items: center;\">\n<a href=\"\/employer\/?src=inlinePostAJob-12757\" style=\"color: white!important;\">Post A Job<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"fancy\" class=\"fancy\" id=\"general-tips-and-guidelines-for-writing-a-job-offer-letter\">General Tips and Guidelines for Writing a Job Offer Letter<\/h2>\n<p>An offer letter is an informal letter that gives you a fair amount of leeway in tone and format. How you arrange the letter is largely up to you, and the tone and wording are going to be based on the position and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/company-culture\/\">company culture<\/a>. Offer letters can be informally worded, so long as they contain the necessary information.<\/p>\n<p>General guidelines to consider when writing an offer letter.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"large-bullets\">\n<li>\n<p><b>Note your acceptance in the first line of the letter.<\/b> This is one aspect of the letter that shouldn\u2019t be rearranged. Don\u2019t make the addressee search through the letter to find out if they\u2019re getting offered a job or not \u2013 make it clear upfront. You don\u2019t want to miss out on a good candidate because it wasn\u2019t clear you wanted to hire them.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Clarity is your friend.<\/b> While a written offer of employment is informal, it\u2019s still an important part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/steps-in-the-hiring-process\/\">hiring process<\/a>. Be clear in the fact that it\u2019s an offer of employment, how much you\u2019re willing to pay them, and what benefits they get. Other aspects are good to include too, but those are the most important details.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Be concise.<\/b> Offer letters are usually one page, so don\u2019t dissemble. It\u2019s also a professional correspondence, so the expectation is for it to be businesslike. Tell the candidate what they need to know, let them know you want to work with them, then sign off.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Make sure there\u2019s a way the offeree can contact you.<\/b> It\u2019s up to you how you want the potential employees to contact you, but make sure they can get in touch. This is important if they want to negotiate, but also just if they have questions or if they choose to decline.<\/p>\n<p>If you make it difficult to get in touch with you, they\u2019ll either assume disinterest or just move on. People want to be polite and follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/office-etiquette\/\">etiquette<\/a>, but they won\u2019t if it\u2019s excessively difficult.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Composing an offer letter may sound daunting, but it\u2019s going to largely consist of information, meaning that it mostly writes itself.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"fancy\" class=\"fancy\" id=\"what-should-be-included-in-an-offer-letter\">What Should be Included in an Offer Letter?<\/h2>\n<p>The contents and tone of an offer letter vary depending on the company culture. There is no specific format for how an offer letter should be structured, so you can alter the contents to suit your needs, the position in question, and your company.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, there are several items that are highly recommended to be included in your offer of employment.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"large-bullets\">\n<li>\n<p><b>The company logo.<\/b> This is an official letter from the company, and you want to make it look like one. If the offer is on paper, make sure it\u2019s on company letterhead. If it\u2019s emailed, try to include the logo at the top of the email message.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>The date.<\/b> Be sure to include this detail. If it\u2019s emailed, then it\u2019ll be time stamped. But it\u2019s always important to know when the letter was sent.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Offered salary.<\/b> Pay rate is a major part of the candidate\u2019s decision process, so be sure to be upfront with your offer of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/desired-salary\/\">salary<\/a>. Also, be sure to note the pay schedule, whether it\u2019ll be monthly, weekly, or biweekly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Job position title.<\/b> It\u2019s good for the offeree to know what exactly the position is called, as that helps them determine if you\u2019re offering them a fair salary. It\u2019s also recommended to give a brief summary of the expected duties of the position, so everyone knows what will be expected.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Benefits.<\/b> This is another major factor in a potential employee\u2019s decision-making. An offer letter is brief, so there\u2019s no need to give the whole list of benefits. But be sure to mention the major ones, like a 401k, paid vacation, or education reimbursement.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Supervisor\u2019s name.<\/b> It\u2019s good to specify who the applicant will be reporting to so as to avoid any confusion about the chain of command.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Employment type.<\/b> It\u2019s best to specify whether it\u2019s a part-time or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/many-hours-full-time-job\/\">full-time position<\/a>. That affects pay and benefits, but also how many hours are expected per week.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>At-will clause.<\/b> Almost all employment contracts are at-will in the United States. It\u2019s still best to make mention of it unless the position is expected to be under contract. At which point, say so.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Start date.<\/b> Make it clear when the candidate is expected to start. If this has been discussed before, it may not be necessary, but few people will be put off by excess clarity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>When to expect the first paycheck.<\/b> This isn\u2019t necessary to put in an offer letter, but it\u2019s recommended. The more information the candidate has, the easier it will be for them to make their decision \u2013 and they\u2019re less likely to need to contact you for clarification.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Contact information.<\/b> Be sure to give the offeree a way to get in touch with you. This is important if they have any questions or need clarification on a matter. It also makes it easy for them to inform you if they\u2019ve decided to take another position, so you know to resume your search.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Offer expiry date.<\/b> It isn\u2019t necessary to include an expiration date on your offer, but it\u2019s something to consider. Excellent candidates usually get more than one offer, so if you encourage them to decide quickly, it\u2019ll guarantee that you won\u2019t have to wait long for an answer.<\/p>\n<p>If you set a deadline, make sure to give them time to make a reasoned decision. A week is considered standard. The candidate may ask for an extension if they get another offer \u2013 or expect one soon \u2013 and it\u2019s up to you whether or not to agree.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>A brief disclaimer.<\/b> Job offer letters don\u2019t actually guarantee that the candidate will be hired \u2013 until they sign the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/employment-contract-examples\/\">employment contract<\/a>, you can rescind it for any reason. Mentioning this may be in your best interest, though you should also consider whether the candidate may find that off-putting.<\/p>\n<p>If there are conditions that the offeree still needs to meet before being fully hired, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/how-long-for-a-career-background-check\/\">background check<\/a>, drug test, or reference check, be sure to highlight that.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the offer letter is sent on paper, leave a place for the recipient to sign it at the bottom. In the case of an emailed letter (which is likely to be less formal), you can just accept a positive response in its place, or you can use an e-signature service instead.<\/p>\n<div ckmz=\"zippia\">\n<div class=\"row\" onclick=\"location.href='\/employer\/?src=inlinePostAJob-12757';\" style=\"font-size: 14px;color: #333; background: #fff; width: 100%; border: 1px solid #d8dee2; border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px; padding: 20px; justify-content: space-between;box-shadow: 0 18px 20px -20px rgb(0 0 0 \/ 15%); margin:0px; cursor:pointer;\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-8 col-xs-12\" style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0); --vh: 12.87px;font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.42857143; color: #333; font-family: Open Sans,serif;font-style: normal; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<div style=\"display: inline-block;margin-top: 10px;font-weight: 600;font-size: 20px;\">Get Started Hiring Now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-xs-12\" style=\"font-weight: 600;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px; text-align: center; text-transform: capitalize; color: #fff; background: #ff6000; border-radius: 4px; height: 48px; border: none; font-family: Open Sans,serif; display: -webkit-flex; display: flex; -webkit-justify-content: center; justify-content: center; -webkit-align-items: center; align-items: center;\">\n<a href=\"\/employer\/?src=inlinePostAJob-12757\" style=\"color: white!important;\">Post A Job<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"fancy\" class=\"fancy\" id=\"when-to-send-an-offer-letter\">When to Send an Offer Letter<\/h2>\n<p>An offer letter is traditionally sent after the candidate has been given a verbal offer.

However, once it\u2019s been accepted, the employer can rescind the offer because the applicant doesn\u2019t meet requirements (such as a drug test) or for other reasons; the terms are binding.

In that case, if that contingency is laid out in the offer letter, it\u2019s perfectly within the company\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>If the company revokes the offer for discriminatory reasons (e.g., because of a person\u2019s race, sex, or disability), that\u2019s illegal.
