If the position offered will terminate naturally on a predetermined calendar date, then mark the second checkbox and furnish the official date of this position’s termination as the last day the Hiring Entity will employ the successful Job Applicant in the defined position. 

(11) Employment. Inform the successful Job Applicant of whether the offered position is a “Part-Time” position or a “Full-Time” position by selecting the appropriately labeled checkbox in Statement (D).

(13) Shift Start Time. In addition to the days of the week when the Job Recipient will be expected to work, the time when the Hiring Entity wishes the scheduled work shift to begin must be defined.

If the dollar amount should be defined as a “Salary” earned by the potential Employee every pay period then the first checkbox should be selected. However, if the payment amount will be earned once “Per Hour,” the second checkbox should be marked. If the payment amount is a “Commission,” choose the third checkbox. Finally, if there will be some “Other” method that determines when the payment amount will be earned by the potential Employee, mark the final checkbox and supply this description to the space available after the word “Other.”

(17) Benefits. If the Hiring Entity will offer one or more “Benefits,” then select the checkbox next to each defined benefit that the potential Employee will be given the option to receive from the list provided in Statement (H).

An attachment with this information can be composed then named in this area if more room is required.

This will allow the Hiring Entity to either move forward in a timely manner should the Recipient wish to accept the offer or seek a replacement should the Recipient refuse the position.
