Offer Letters
Offer letters serve as contracts. Some language must be used verbatim as provided; these parts of the text are highlighted in yellow in the templates. Black and red text indicates suggested template language. Red identifies special situations/or alternative solutions to a decision point. Black should address the majority of “standard” offers. Sections that are irrelevant to a particular offer – i.e., FY language for an AY appointment – can be deleted. Please use only these templates for your offer letters.
For offer letters (excluding offer letters for A/P staff) please add the following signature block between employee acceptance and signature block for Provost approval:

Please send all offer letters to the CLA employment center for review. When you send the offer letter to the payroll center for approval, please indicate "citizenship status" in the e-mail. The CLA Employment Center will critique the offer letter and will send back for any needed changes. For student offer letters, the employment center will approve a completed template but the individual offer letters should be approved by the business managers.
