Employers often use job offer letters for low- to mid-level employees. This format typically suits less formal situations in which the job description and responsibilities are concise and straightforward. In contrast, employers may use an Employment Contract to offer someone a senior-level or executive position where the terms and conditions are more complex. Once a candidate accepts a job offer, employers typically ask them to sign an Employment Contract. This document elaborates on the details of the contract, including general provisions and possible restrictive covenants (e.g., clauses for confidentiality, non-competition, or non-solicitation).
