The Legal Risk Score of a Letter of Employment Offer Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document permits the employer to alter the employee's role, responsibilities, and reporting hierarchy at their discretion, which could lead to significant changes in the employee's career trajectory without prior notice.
- The employer has the authority to change the employee's work location, potentially requiring the employee to adapt to new environments, which might not always align with personal logistics or preferences.
- Any intellectual property developed by the employee during their tenure is deemed to belong to the employer, potentially limiting the employee's rights to their own creative and professional outputs.
This document provides considerable control to the employer over significant aspects of employment, such as job roles and intellectual property rights, which might pose risks for employees regarding job security and personal achievements. Users with some understanding of employment documents should consider whether the level of control retained by the employer aligns with their career goals and personal needs before proceeding.
