Configure Offer Clauses and Contingencies

Recruiters can insert a set of predefined clauses and contingencies in the text editor. You need to manually create the clauses and contingencies that are available for recruiters to insert. Recruiting doesn't come preconfigured with clauses and contingencies.

You can do this in Recruiting Setup > Offer Clauses and Disclaimers. This feature is divided into the Clauses and Disclaimers and Contingencies tabs.

Role feature access:  

  • Recruiting Setup > Offer Clauses and Disclaimers > Clauses and Disclaimers
  • Recruiting Setup > Offer Clauses and Disclaimers > Contingencies

Add Clauses and Disclaimers

You can define the items that are available for users to insert when they select the Clauses option in the offer letter form.

To create a clause or disclaimer:

  1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Offer Clauses and Disclaimers and click the Clauses and Disclaimers tab.
  2. Click New.
  3. Enter a value in the Name, Description, and Reference Code columns.
  4. Click the text editor below the list and add the content of the clause.
  5. Click Save.

Add Contingencies

You can define the options available when users select the Contingencies option in the offer letter form.

Note: Contingencies don’t typically require the same formatting as clauses and disclaimers. As such, a text editor for creating contingencies isn’t provided. If your text requires formatting, use the Clauses and Disclaimers tab (which is described above) instead.

To add contingencies:

  1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Offer Clauses and Disclaimers.
  2. In the Contingencies tab, click New.
  3. Enter or copy and paste the contingency in the Description field, which doesn't have a maximum character limit.
  4. Note: Any text formatting from the text source isn’t carried over to the Description field.
  5. Enter a value in the Reference Code field, and click Save.

Edit and Delete Clauses and Contingencies

You can edit and delete contingencies any time. This doesn't affect contingencies that have already been added to an offer letter form.
