NOTES:

This is an offer letter for a US full time exempt employee. It contains bracketed
optional language for an annual bonus.

Exempt versus Non-exempt -- This letter assumes that the employee is an exempt
employee who is not entitled to overtime. This has been a real problem for
technology companies in particular. Since this is highly fact intensive, my advice is
that once you are hiring employees who really have no managerial authority or
independent discretion that you consult with a labor attorney or that you act more
cautiously and hire them on an hourly basis and not permit them to work more than
40 hours a week (also allowing lunch breaks) unless you are willing to pay overtime.
There may be a small company exemption so its worth checking. This is a real
problem area for companies right now.

Proprietary Inventions and Assignment Agreement -- This offer letter assumes you
have one. You may have one by another name, in which case, edit accordingly. If
you do not have one, you should have one if you are dealing with technology or any
proprietary IP.
