Frequently asked questions

Is an offer letter a binding contract in North Carolina?
Usually not for a fixed term. North Carolina employment is generally at will, and the Standard offer letter says so, but the stated pay and terms should still be accurate because promises in an offer letter can be relied on.
What must an employer tell a new hire in North Carolina?
North Carolina employers with 25 or more employees must verify work authorization through E-Verify (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 64-26). Every new hire must complete federal Form I-9, and employers must report new hires to the state.
What is the difference between the Standard and Professional Employment Offer Letter?
The Standard edition is a complete, state-aware Employment Offer Letter for common situations. The Professional edition adds longer clause coverage, schedules, and optional modules for more complex matters. You can preview either edition free before you pay.
