All employment letters must have the department head and dean level signatures before being presented to the employee and also before the employee’s first day of work. Administrative Stipends have additional signatures that must also be obtained before the letter is presented to the employee.
Bracketed statements in the letter templates are optional or contingency language that may not apply to all appointments. Please remove bracketed statements if not applicable.
