How to eSign a document: online signature lawfulness for Alternative Work Offer Letter in United States

so one of the things in the US unless it's a really senior hire talking like CEO you don't do employment contracts you really just give an offer letter and the offer letter is just going to say hey here's kind of the salary here's the title here's the person you're going to report to here's your start date there is a concept in the US called right to work and what that really means is the employee does not have to stay with employer any longer than they want to and they're free to leave a day's notice if they choose to by the flip side of that is employers are not obligated to keep employees for a certain amount of time so there's a right to work so which means the employee has the right to leave when they want to and the employer for the most part you can't discriminate there's some rules gets people really excited from the UK who like oh gosh we don't have to commit for 2 years it also makes it very competitive for people who don't plan to stay so people will move to another company if they get a better opportunity or better position just that recruitment process and then you sign a certain number of years because us employees with their right to work on a moment's notice for another company and so that's something to be aware of so you would typically have an offer letter so it wouldn't be a contract to offer letter but you would also typically have some additional documents that go along with that so probably a separate non-disclosure agreement probably a separate intellectual property assignment agreement also would say the offer is pending a successful background check so kind of the process in the US you would extend you know I interview Clark he's a great guy we we talk he meets the team we want to give him a letter we would give him an offer letter the detailing the salary the title start dat but it would be pending a successful background check then we would do a background check and unless Clark has multiple felonies or whatever issues might come up you would typically go forward a start date for him to start the work and I think having that at will employment in in the US is definitely a benefit making it a highly transient market for recruiting W2 contractors for example but when you thinking about hiring your own direct hires then you've really got to think about it to the stat around a large percentage of Americans would actually take a pay decrease to get a much better benefits package and actually sometimes it is a balance as an employer you've only got so much money for a particular role you put all of the money in the salary and offer a really low minimalistic benefits package or you take some off the salary increase the benefit you're willing to pay that bit extra and put something on both but I think my advice for what I see is there is a big advantage of actually if you've only got $100 taking some of that $100 off and putting it into a benefits package so that person feels truly valued and then you're getting the engagement because as you say with that well employment you could be going through all of this training induction and ultimately they leave in six months time because they just get a better offer can effectively do what they want and and leave at the drop of the Hat [Music]
