FAQ

What makes an HR letter legally safer?

Facts, dates and specific examples, the policy or contract clause used, a reply route for the employee and a signed acknowledgement. Avoid opinions and emotional language.

Should the employee sign the letter?

Yes, an acknowledgement signature or a note that the letter was delivered protects both sides in a later dispute.
