Letters of Offer

Letters of Offer

The following templates contain the required elements for letters of offer. Departments are welcome to make additions in a manner consistent with your departmental spirit while retaining the existing information and legally required statements. If you have questions regarding modifications please contact one of the Employment Team members.

All employment letters must have department head and dean level signatures before being presented to the employee and also before the employee’s first day of work. Supplemental and grant-funded letters have additional signatures that must also be obtained before the letter is presented to the employee.

Remember to choose from each of the [bracketed] components in the template to tailor the letter according to your employee’s individual situation.

Make sure you always ask your prospective employees if they are working anywhere else on campus. This will help prevent many employment conflicts such as loss of a graduate assistantship or personal services contract.
