What is the process for Making the Offer?
Making the Job Offer: Finalizing the Hiring Process in Municipal Employment
Once the municipality has decided to hire an individual, it needs to contact that individual as soon as possible. The municipality should be prepared to discuss salary, benefits and other job‐related issues. It is common to make a contingent offer of employment until results of reference and background checks are received. Once all background screening is complete, a firm offer of employment should be made in writing. Offer letters should include the name of the position, Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) status (exempt or nonexempt), wage/hour
or month (do not list annual salary on letter), probationary period and benefits information. The candidate will sign to accept the offer. A signed copy of the letter should be placed into the personnel file.
