FAQ

Is an offer letter legally binding?

An offer letter creates a binding employment relationship once accepted, though terms are usually subject to background checks and statutory employment law.

Should I include benefits in the letter?

Yes — at least summarise leave, super/401(k) and any allowances so the candidate has clarity.
