As states re-open and more guidance becomes available, businesses will need to consider their staffing needs. To bring back an employee from furlough or to re-hire previously separated employees, you should send employees a written letter to acknowledge and respond to accepting or rejecting the offer in writing.
For our valued clients, Paychex is providing templates to help make the process simpler and less time-consuming.
There is a general template letter (applies to most states) for bringing back a furloughed employee and one for hiring a previously separated employee, as well as several state-specific template letters for each situation. Because employers must include company-specific details in the letters such as any changes in schedule, you’ll find helpful instruction sheets on how to complete each section.
