Is an offer letter a contract?
Generally no — a well-drafted US offer letter states that employment is at-will and the letter isn't a contract for a fixed term. This template includes that language. For executive or fixed-term roles, have counsel draft a real employment agreement.
What should an offer letter include?
Role, reporting line, compensation with its period, start date, location, contingencies (background check, work eligibility), at-will language, and a respond-by date with a signature block — exactly the fields in this generator.
Is this really free?
Yes — unlimited letters and PDF downloads. Entering your email (optional) just removes the small PaystubWiz line from the footer.
Can I edit the letter wording?
The fields cover the variable parts; for custom clauses, download the PDF and adapt, or copy the text from the preview into your editor.
