You might need to provide additional details when sending individual or mass offer letters.
Sender and Recipient Details
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| To | The candidate's name. Letters are sent to the email address in the Personal Information section of the candidate's profile in Recruiting. Internal candidates receive the letter in their email and Dayforce Message Center. |
| From | Either the hiring manager or recruiter assigned to the requisition. |
| CC | The hiring manager or recruiter of the job requisition, based on who you selected in the From drop-down list. |
| Subject | The subject line of the letter email message that is sent to the candidate. The subject line is defined in the template that you select. The subject can’t be longer than 100 characters. |
| Company Logo | Choose from the logos that are included in the letter's template. |
Workflow Information
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Workflow |
The workflow that the letter enters when you submit it. The workflows available for your role are defined in Workflow Administration > Role Privileges. |
| Expiration in Days |
The number of days that a letter is valid after being sent. This field gives you the flexibility to determine the expiration date for each letter you create.
The expiration date is automatically communicated to the candidate in the letter. |
| Workflow Comments | Include comments for workflow approvers. Candidates don't see these comments in their offer letters. |
Required Information
Token information is used to provide specific content to the offer letters. This information varies depending on the template you chose.
The system displays only those fields where the corresponding token is editable. A template can also include tokens that aren't editable, like those related to candidate, recruiter, or hiring manager details, or job posting and requisition title. However, these tokens don't have a corresponding field in the Required Information section and are instead automatically populated in the letter.
You can edit two types of editable tokens in the Required Information section:
- Editable tokens based on existing data: These tokens already have a value defined in the job requisition details or other areas. The corresponding field shows this value, but you can edit it if needed. When you save a draft or send the letter, your edits are carried over to the employee's details upon hiring.
- For example, say that the Weekly Hours field in the Required Information section defaults to 20 hours based on the details of the job requisition. You override this field to 28 hours and send the letter. When you open the Candidate Hire form, the Weekly Hours field is populated with 28 hours instead of 20.
- Editable tokens not from the requisition details: These tokens don't have a defined value. When you save a draft or send the letter, your edits for some of these tokens are carried over to the employee's details upon hiring.
- For example, when you fill out the Offer Base field in the Required Information section and send the letter, the Base Salary or Base Rate fields in the Candidate Hire form show the amount you used.
The following table shows which tokens must be completed. The right column indicates whether the value is carried over to the employee’s details if they are hired.
| Field | Description | Carried Over? |
|---|---|---|

The value in the Average Daily Hours field of the Details tab for the job requisition that the letter is initiated from. You can edit this value if needed. Edits are carried over to the employee's details upon hiring. |
