Where it fits
For hiring an employee in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia. Use the appointment letter or the offer letter for India, the internship offer for an intern, and the consulting agreement for someone who is not an employee.
Before you rely on it
Original Centilio wording, not legal advice. Check notice, overtime, leave and pay rules where the employee works, and in the US decide whether the job is at will and change the ending section to match. Have local counsel confirm the confidentiality and work product terms, including any whistleblower notice the law requires.
