Yeah, and where did you go to law school? An offer letter is not a binding contract. See:
* "Unlike offer letters, an employment contract is meant to create a binding promise between the worker and employer." https://blog.bernieportal.com/differences-between-offer-letters-employment-contracts https://blog.bernieportal.com/differences-between-offer-lett...
* "Contrary to what most people think, a signed offer letter, except in very rare instances, is not a legally binding implied contract. ": https://www.tonybeshara.com/tips/accepting-an-offer-new-employees/ https://www.tonybeshara.com/tips/accepting-an-offer-new-empl...

- WalterBright 5y agoI'm curious what you'd do if they took the work you did and didn't pay you, or only paid you half. Would you be mad? Would you sue? After all, you don't have an agreement.
- actually_a_dog 5y agoSure, but that doesn't apply here. If my manager is happy with my work, by definition, expectations are being met, which means I'm entitled to be paid in full. Time and effort don't factor into the equation. The phrase in the offer letter works both ways: "hours... required to perform your job duties" can be more or less than 40.
- Salgat 5y agoThat's why employment laws exist to protect workers. Wage theft is illegal, regardless of whatever agreements you signed.
- exdsq 5y agoI think Walter was too busy creating the D programming language to attend law school! :P
- actually_a_dog 5y agoThat was sort of my point :P
- WalterBright 5y agoI only play a lawyer on TV!
- actually_a_dog 5y agoDid you also stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?
- exdsq 5y agoHaha what? Really?
