A job offer letter can be customized based on your desired level of formality and how much detail your company wishes to include. For a professional touch, use your company’s official letterhead. You can organize your job offer letter how you see fit, although consider including basic information, such as:

• Job title

• Base salary 

• Start date

• Employment contingencies, such as background checks, drug screenings, reference checks, I-9 forms, etc.

• At-will statement

If you wish to go into further detail, consider including additional information, such as:

• Description of job responsibilities

• Manager/supervisor name and title

• Workplace location and expected working hours

• Additional compensation potential, such as bonuses, profit-sharing, stock options, etc.

• Employee benefits, such as insurance coverage, 401(k), paid time off, etc.

• Offer letter expiration date

Even though an offer letter is not a legally binding agreement, consult with a lawyer to have them review your final offer letter template and verbiage to avoid potential legal implications.
